Gas Prices Will Go Up with a Fury

Oil needs to go to the all time low of "free" as far as I'm concerned. It's time we got off of oil. High energy costs will do nothing but hurt the economy. After 100 yrs of automobiles, you would think that the industry would have learned something about fuel economy and we would have cars/trucks getting 100+ mpg. It amazes me how we can send a frickin' probe to Mars AND control it from earth, but for some unknown reason we can't make a car get 100 mpg. I think the real reason is that the oil companies and automobile makers are in bed with each other. The ex CEO of Shell said that America alone has enough oil to last us another 250 yrs but you dont hear about that in the news. Instead we get the ol' "Oh we're running out of oil... and the price of gas has hit a new all time high..blah blah blah.." The truth is, it's all about money and the extortionist ways of getting it out of the consumer who DOESN'T have an alternative choice for driving a gasoline engine vehicle.. The extortion has to stop..
