Agreed, we lookedinto that

carl — 10/8/2005 4:04:52 PM (archived)

And went from 3 cars 3yrs ago down to 1.5,( NO SUV'S!!!) with one in the garage I will never get rid of(72 chevelle SS, 350, 4 spd, posi, buckets, etc) I'm just concerned on how the oil cartels bask in the glory of rasing prices on any whim when 50 yrs ago hurricanes and wars did not drive up the price of crude...Did the price of oil spike during Vietnam? Or the bay of Pigs? How About Camille in '69?
