Don't miss the fact that that $1,318 per second... is Exxon's PROFIT... not just what they make!!!
Wouldn't it be nice... to be the Prez of the U.S., having family interests in the oil business... and see awesome profit numbers like these... then have to put on a straight face and tell your constituents... that NO price gouging is happening… all the while watching your bank account soaring???

Dudes, I'm in the wrong business.
Well lets just say it gets less than 1 MPG. It has a 325 gallon fuel tank.
Not telling you what to do but you might want to invest in some exxon stock. Krish was telling me he heard gas would double by the end of the year. Believe me it is something I have been calculating in my head. Maybe I should just buy a row boat.

Yup! They said about 2 months ago gas would be about $7 per gal here come December. I'll call my buddy who owns a Texaco here right now and find out what gas is at this very moment

K...Here it is. At this very moment, gas is $4.55 per gal and diesel is $3.49 per gal and that is coming from a Texaco branch. If world war 3 breaks out, those prices will jump drastically... :doubt:

well dood i always lived in the city, in Mexico City you don't need a car to go places because there's taxis, metro, and tons and tons of buses, so i never had to depend on a stinking car.
Then when i lived in Vancouver Ca., well there pretty much the sky train and the buses take you everywhere and they pass every 15 mins, but now here in stinking Seattle the transportation sucks monkey butt
!! .You need a car or you're pretty much stock at home and buses pass every 20 mins or more , i'm trying to learn how to drive but i'm just as bad as spongebob :lol: because i drive like a drunk woman
, so a bicycle is my only choice right now .

oh and I forgot to mention another fun part in the whole oil price deal...
Think about all the things you use in your daily life made out of oil... ie plastic. Acrylic prices haven't jumped in a while but I have been prepairing for it to happen very soon. Last year when gas prices went beserk, so did acrylic.
Then there is the whole supply and delivery system. For some stupid reason here in America we have pretty much abandoned efficient trasportation of goods in favor of speed. Thus our rail road system has been in a slow decay over the last thirty years and now we have hundreds of thousands of very inefficient semi trucks all over the place. Do you know that 6 -7 miles to the gallon is extremely good fuel economy for a semi truck? ( I worked for Freightliner and Detroit Diesel for about nine years ) anyway, I guess my whole point on the matter is........ as long as greed fuels our government and corporate america continues to recieve a green light to exploit that greed nothing will change.
