How will it hold up to a crash like my 12/18 mpg Titan? Thanks, but no thanks. I will gladly pay the price at the pump for peace of mind about my family.
Keep in mind that the true cost of fuel should include the dollars and lives it takes to defend the world’s access to oil. Also keep in mind that some of the money for that oil goes directly to acquire the bullets and explosives that are killing our troops right now, that funded the 9-11 terrorists, and that will fund whatever islamo-nazi attacks they’ve got planned in the future. So, while you have EVERY right to buy whatever you want, you should always give at least some thought to the consequences.
And, no, I’m not a “no blood for oil” whack-job, which has been hurled before. We did go to Iraq for oil, as oil flow is assured with Middle East stability, and Iraq was a threat to it. We need oil until we ween ourselves off of it - but continuing with the big cars won’t help.
As to ANWAR, it would help to drill there. But you have control over what you drive more than you have control over the enviro-whackos in Congress.
