That's is ugly.  I think taxes are a lot of the reason that we have not
found a replacement for gas(petro).  

When I talk to people and surf the web, I see cars that run on HHO
(water).  The environmentalists are totally wrong, just look a the
charts on there web sites.  The temperature has risen .8 degree Celsius
in the past hundred years and the ocean is rising 1 millimeter per year,



But the population cannot get a handle on what can and cannot be done
because of all the bad science that is going around.

What high prices?

I'm still savoring our relatively low prices and low taxes.  Truly
wishing our gas taxes would double or triple so we'd break our oil
addiction that much faster.

And yes, planning to drive ~1000 Miles for an extended week-end but with
4 adults and two children our miles per gallon per passenger in the van
will still be more than acceptable.

A Happy and Safe 4th to all from the USA,

Jim
