Too bad there's no mechanism to allow those car carriers to be attached to the rear of an oil tanker train.

If there is so much oil in transit then why the heck did I just pay $4.05 a gallon for premium? I gotta get a different car.

Comments at the site indicate plenty of other newly-built Chrysler vehicles are filling up Detroit.

If they were selling them at an ACTUAL profit, they would be getting to the dealers.

Sergio Marchionne will probably lead the largest corporate bankruptcy in world history and demand to be bailed out by taxpayers.

Most oil trains are unit trains. What we need is to reactive some of the old railroads (that we made in rail trails) and get GE Texas locomotive plant to build more locos!

All big oil does is refine it and ship it over seas. Who cares anymore...
