Where have you been?

Glad to see you post again. It's been lonely around here.

Ive been hanging out in my jeep forum due to doing a full frame off restoration on my 72 wagoneer. They've been very helpful there. and i've also been on a certain survival forum that "Allows" political and religeous discussion. but Flash came and found me, like a long lost dog that lost his way....

Buzz me or pm when you get a deal, i m also on a lookout for a good deal on escalade.

Seriously though, My next door neighbor bought a brandnew 40K normally priced truck for 21K last time gas hit 5$!! and we've been looking at the Escalades for a few weeks now. So im gonna wait a little longer and watch gas go up and up and up. and watch SUV prices go down, then go pounce on a salesman!!

The positive aspect of higher gas prices is that we are fortunate to be in Texas. This is why Texas had a 9 billion dollar surplus last year and they were predicting it to be up to 15 billion this year. Well because Texas has a lot of mineral rights on gas and oil wells this figure might jump up to mid 20 billion dollars. We are fortunate not to have a state income tax and this is a major reason why. Next time you are getting fuel think about that since we can not do anything about it anyway.

Jake's nose sniffed and found you, Skeeter. I meant to talk to you about that smell!.....snicker!

Gonna weigh in on this thread.

One more time, our unmentionable friends in Washington sold us out. Fuel is no longer regulated so people buy it and then they OWN it. They will charge whatever they want for it and it's completely legal and beyond the power of elected officials. If we raise our exploration efforts, the fuel will still go on the market and we'll still pay market price. If we band together and quit buying it at $4/gallon to force the price down, they will simply sell it to foreign countries who WILL pay that price. We were sold out. Someone got real wealthy to make that happen.

Oil company profits are at record high, never before seen levels, yet we still pay subsidies to the oil companies. HMMMMMM....something smells fishy. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax#United_States

Fuel taxes in the United States vary by state. The United States federal excise tax on gasoline, as of February 2011, is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. In January 2011, motor gasoline taxes averaged 48.1 cents per gallon and diesel fuel taxes averaged 53.1 cents per gallon.

More regulation isn't going to fix any problems. Gas would be a whole lot cheaper if the government didn't tax the shit out of it, tho...

You might as well get a Volt since you're already paying for part of it. http://hotair.com/archives/2011/12/21/govt-subsidies-for-chevy-volt-up-to-250000-per-car/
