*** Reducing Speed Limit to 50-55 Will NOT cure your Oil problem, Let you prove it to you. ***

knowing that they are making oil companies rich. Friction is one
of the hidden problems that people are not aware of. It hurts
your pocket, it requires more fuel to push your car, it causes an
engine to work harder; it adds unnecessary stress to your engine
thus causing it to degrade faster. Friction is caused by
dragging brakes, bad wheel bearing and sometimes by tension of
your parking brakes. Reducing speed Will not cure your oil
problem, because most cars out there have hidden friction, like
this
one for example:

This is how cars are supposed to be made (w/ low friction you
save 34% on Fuel instantly):

Yes, I blame the problem on the carmakers, 9 out of 10 cars are
made in a rush. In the past, carmakers focused their design on
beauty rather than on fuel efficiency, I can't blame them because
at that time we weren't having problem with oil.
So the bottom line is, Reducing Speed Limit will not cure our oil
problem. Stop your congressmen from imposing ridiculous law to
force every doby to go slower. Your productivity will slow down
as well, you will spend more times on the road for nothing. You
got to fix the problem from the core.

In 1973 OPEC reduced the supply of oil. Some stations
sold gas on days determined by odd or even license numbers.
Most stations imposed purchase limits. In shortge areas,
lines formed at stations that had gas.
There is no gas shortage today. The current high prices
are simply a profit maximizing strategy.

Yes, I agree, I also checked with Europeans market to see their
increase rate on food prices etc.. It appears that their increase
is only 10% - 15%, for US 100% increase. The falling dollar
plays part of the blame, because Arabs use Petro$$$$ similar to
EURO, we pay the prices for the difference.

Because tax forms a far larger part of our gas costs, the raw material
affects it less.

I believe some where at the pump, gas tax rate is disclosed, I
don't think it's that much, 15% at the most if I'm not mistaken.

And, ad nausium, taxes are recycled. They have there effect on the
populous, but have nothing to do with the economics overall.
Eeyore has an anti American agenda......
May as well be V-for-shit......

We pay 2 types of 'tax' on petrol and diesel here in the UK. There is a
'fuel duty' which is a fixed amount set each year and is the larger
element. On top of that there is also VAT (value added tax) which is
17.5% in the UK but varies throughout the member states of the EU (as
indeed does the duty).

It results in more economic cars for one thing ! V8s are all but unknown
other than high end prestige cars. V6s are typical of many more higher
end cars but I4s are mainstream at modest engines sizes as low as 1.3 or
1.4 litres (and sometimes less !).
I personally drive a 2.0 L I4 and have no complaints.

No. I merely despair at your inability to see the bald facts facing you.
