I see it this way, Overseas, they are riding scooters and motorcycles with two people on them. They have a cart behind them pulling the family and relatives. In the US, People are buying SUVs so they can sit up high and drive a truck. Spending upwards of 40K on a vehicle that gets 10-12 mpg. This is payback folks.

I bought a small used car to try to cope with the cost of gas in New York at 1.60 gal for the last 4 months.( It was up to 1.79) There are still people making more money that dont care how much it costs.

Our Legislators and govenment officials dont pay for gas. You and I fill their Lincolns and Suburbans and Cadillacs.
