tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:32,985 Points:2,344,535 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Feb 22, 2012 3:12:12 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse The volatility of the entire Middle East is in question… Iran, Israel, Syria. And there was Egypt and Libya. What next - spending gone wild Barry? Meanwhile, big oil exports fuel and natural gas to the world for higher profits. Barry supports natural gas and oil production for sale to the world to help pay for his spending gone wild addiction. Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their benefit. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using ‘other’ forms of transportation to help lower your cost for transportation. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
