Wow, interesting where a single post or observation will take us. I agree alot with the spoiled brat gas price vs water and have never been much on conspiracy theories. I believe the truth about all this is somewhere in the middle and none of the issues are as smple as they seem. eg we can stick it to the oil companies and make them go under, then next thing we know we are laid off work because somewhere along the line that oil company owned our employer.
Either way, gas milage in modern vehicles has alot to do with what the computer is programed for. Darn Bill Gates for this conspiracy!!
