Did you catch this! Crude oil closed above $145 a barrel for the first time. I read where by Thursday June 10th oil may possibly hit $150 a barrel. Will we soon see $200 a barrel oil?
Car companies didn't do anything till this became a crisis and they started loosing money.
Government sat on their back side for 30 years knowing this would happen AND DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Washington still refuses to drill for oil where there is oil in the USA. Yet they have no other alternative, no other plans, no solution at all. They just argue and get nothing done!
It wouldn't take much to improve fuel mileage by 50% to 100% if "they" wanted it to happen.
There's an 80 year old, high school level science project could have changed everything in a matter of days http://www.MPGdoubled.com and you can do this yourself.
If you haven't looked at this simple technology, take a moment and see what can be done quickly and you in your garage or easily by every car mfg on the planet. http://www.MPGdoubled.com
At least Ford, Toyota, Chevy and a few others have been working to get some fuel efficient cars on the market. Just a little late to help us before 2010 or even later.
Take a look at what Toyota is proposing for 2010

We should be calling, writing and emailing our government representatives demanding they do something and do it now! I'll bet you haven't done anyting but gripe? Am I right?
You need to make yourself heard. Have you written your government representatives (senator and congressman)? For Americans go here, find your governmnet rep and email them, tell them you want them to stop arguing, start thinking, fix this oil problem and get the job done now!http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
