Good find, the related videos are interesting as well, and worth the look. Common sense is such a simple approach, pity most politicians don't posess it.

Its facts like these that make me unconcerned about long-term oil prices.

This bubble will burst at some point, hopefully in the near future. The hysteria that this oil "crisis" has created is unfortunate, but if it makes people think twice before buying huge SUVs and Pick Ups that NEVER TOW or dont need the large vehicle other than a status symbol, it might have been worth it.

if he would have run I would most certainly have voted for him; and its not only his opinion on this matter that makes sense - it's all across the board. - Jeff

Sorry, but i like the idea of driving whatever i please, whether a status symbol or whatever, ESPECIALLY if i am paying for it. This is America!

I don't think that he was implying to not drive what you want. Lots of people however who do not need the SUV are not buying them now due to the fact that they do not need them. I just side lined my F-350 for a hybrid Ford Escape and the money I save in fuel pays for the truck and the insurance and some left over!!
