I can't say if there is any real solution, to the demand for fuel and the high prices we are paying at the pumps. They say we are heading for a recession, and why is this? Gas sales are down 4 or 5 percent, but prices keep on going up. Exxon/Mobil have hit record profits and they keep climbing. Wages are staying the same for most people. There is a small Tax relief coming to put extra money back in the economy. What good is this going to do? It might buy a guy a new TV from Wall Mart and Wall Mart could really use the extra income. Food prices are also climbing, Freight has sky-rocketed with fuel surcharges passed down to the merchants, who increase their price to meet the demand of high fuel cost. Yesterday I received a statement from the Culligan Man (who delivers water) that they will be charging 2 additional dollars each stop they make, even if you don't purchase their water.
We might think we have it bad, but I am still glad I live in America, where we can follow our dreams, where we can contribute to building a better community, where we can complain about things than matter to us, and try to find a solution to our problems. My problem is I want to build the fastest car in my town and still have fuel to run it. I am not ready to raise Horses or go back to the 1800's. Although we might breath cleaner air and Al Gore might win another Nobel Peace Prize. Tomorrow is another day and the sun will rise, God is still in charge and we will find a solution to our energy problems. Thanks to all who keep Club Cobra up and running. It's nice to have a sight, where there are some very bright minds and car crazy people, who can express their opinion's in a non biased way.
