gas shortage? any truth to it?

I too heard there are almost 50 some different varieties of gas. This is due to different states requiring different gases. How nice of the EPA to lift this requirement for a couple weeks. Ain't they special.

We've had environmentalists in this country fighting tooth and nail for years now. Whether you agree with them or not, this is where we are. If we demand certain things, there is a price to pay for it. Now we are once again paying the peice. Is it fully paid yet? I doubt it. We can't have it both ways in this country. No drilling to where we can be independent of others from oil, no new refineries because of regulations, well, everything comes with a price. No drilling in ANWR because it might upset a few caribou, well, ride a caribou to work then. But we don't get away with such things withbout paying a price for it.

What does feed for a caribou cost? Anyone know off-hand?
 
I'm getting real tired of everyone other than the American consumer being looked after and taken care of. Big business, environmentalists, lobbyists... Its time for the government to look out for the good folks that make this country great. "We the people", remember that.

$200 million of our tax dollars in the new energy bill went to highway beatification projects rather than grants to companies trying to devise a more fuel efficient car. The people that control the budget are way out of touch with the average American consumer(me and you). We have no say so in pork projects that shouldn't be funded anyway. Its time for fundamental reform in Washington politics. What ever happened to the saying "power to the people"? Now its power to wealthy big business and special interest groups.

Where the country is going and what our founding fathers were trying to get away from are slowly becoming one and the same.

Just had to vent before I go fill up at the gas station. Now back to you're regular scheduled program.

I think you have raised some excellent points, especially about "pork projects". I recently read of a bridge that is bieng built in Alaska to the tune of tens of millions of dollars that will serve a population fo about 300 on the island that it is going to. No doubt, the senator or congressman who pushed that through will have the bridge named for him and use it as fodder for re-election. Pork in major bills I think is one of the reasons that Reagan was so insistent on trying to get line-item veto powers. Has anybody heard if our "good friends", the Saudis and Kuwaitis have offered crude to us at something less than 20 bucks a barrel to help out with disaster relief? The Venezualan government has, although I don't know if we have taken them up on it.
 
I wasn't aware of the offer for oil at such low prices, but if true, we ought to take them up on it. I've heard that quite a few countries are offering aid of one form or another to us, and I'm very pleased to see this happening. We as a nation, both at the government level and the private sector have given much to countries in need over the years and it's just very good to see it returned in kind.
 
93 is out as far as I can find.... I have a client in Fredericksburg who can`t even find any and may have to reschedule a weekend drop off coming up

if anyone is in the central TX area and knows where I can find 93 or even 100, let me know
