But alas we find our govt controlled buy nutless tree hugger evironmentalist whackos who find it unfair that we pay less than "the rest of the world".
Let me guess, Obama '08 bumper sticker?

I hate to tell you this, but at this point a large portion of the "wealth" in the United States comes from "the rest of the world." This is free market capitalism, which my blackened conservative heart loves. No tree hugger here. No Obama sticker (I don't bastardize my nice bumper with stickers, but if I did, it would be Mr. McCain). Americans have an embarassing sense of entitlement. I do think we have a right to expect more than the rest of the world, but we sure as heck better not expect to get it without working and fighting for it.
This is getting off-topicy and has nothing to go with the orginal point of this post. It doesn't make any different to vwbuge who's to blame for the diesel prices ... the poor dude just wants some advice on what to do with his car.
Again, my advice ... hold on to the MB and see what happens.
