I bet if i went into the ghetto of any big city and offered $10 to carry 5 gallons of gas across town , i wouldnt get anyone to do it.
Conclusion , gas is hard to get , we should be lucky that the west has been able to artificially deflate prices for as long as they have been.
You could always run your car on hemp oil ( its cheap and easy to produce and is a renewable resource )  |
If only everybody would realise...
How many cars are built in America doing less than 5 miles to the gallon? Far too many.
Why?
Oil is a World resourse that every other country knows is in limited supply - They produce highly optimized engines that give good miles to the gallon ratios - And charge high taxes for purchasing this limited comodity.
Yet Americans whinge like fuck over 2 bux a gallon prices when other countries are paying up to 10 bux a gallon.
