Most destinations don’t involve large swaths of distance, and if they do, well, it’s your own damned fault for living to where you have to drive as far, this is also why I have no sympathy for the person who decided to locate 90 minutes from where they work, but then start complaining about the price of gas.
And speeding on the freeway against the law and all good sense just makes your tank run down faster, and then wow, you become shocked that gas rises.
If the energy shortages of the 70s happened today, this country would collapse.
Excuse me for living.
If the energy shortages of the 70s happened today, this country would collapse.
That was a shortage created by politicians.
They're trying very hard to recreate that today for some reason.
All that diatribe has nothing to do with this particular thread, but since you brought it up--there was no energy shortage then, and there isn't one now. There was and is a shortage, however, of politicians with enough balls to tell the environmentalist wackos that we're going to build some more refineries and drill some of the oil that is so plentiful in THIS country!
