Me thinks we're finally reasing what we've sewn. We just never gave a $hit. And I will say it again - had The Giopper not dismantled CAFE standards and ripped all the energy savings plans Jimmy Carter enacted, we wouldn't be here right now. My sister's 1980 Plymouth Volare was rated at 17city/25 highway. That was with an archeic 3.7ltr Slant Six and a 1 barrel Carter carburetor. 30 years later and we can't beat that with most cars on the road today ? I guess not. Sure the cars have more safety features and more toys - something we could live without.

In the end its the station's customers that will have to repay the $4,000 in higher fuel and store goods costs.

Yeah, that's like forcing someone else to make one's charitable donations for you. Everything will get paid for eventually, one way or the other . . .
