Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jan 03, 2009 10:04 am) Yes that was my point basically. Current road use tax (in gas taxes) favors those who drive less. The trouble with you snake is you think too logically. You'll never make it in politics doing that. Thats why I am not a politician. |

The Oregon mileage charge plan has been put into limited use for a couple years. It seems that it would be easier to just get an Odo reading when you get your license tags each year.

The black box stuff isn't connected to satellite stuff I don't think, at least not yet. It more sensor stuff, like the ABS, that retains the most recent actions. So if you have a wreck, you may be able to tell if the brakes were locked in the two or three seconds before impact. More over in the Black Box Data Recording discussion I guess, although that one hasn't been active for a couple of years. |

" I rather like replying to those worth replying to rather than to any well wishers of the Joads.But they'd kick his northern butt in OK so on with the post. Smiling and most good naturedly , good will to all. To keep us topical, intersection near me has a Chevron and across the street an Exxon that closed and has been rebranded into a Citgo. Depite being 10 cents cheaper no Houstonians have yet crossed the line. Everytime I pass it it is empty. Price will prevail but for the near term , good on you Texans. Suck it Hugo. Happy 2009 all.

So with one new factor not in their favor, the gov't needs to fix it so there are no factors not in their favor? Of course. Let no citizen go unscrewed. |

So Hamas lobs some rockets and oil goes up (gas REALLY goes up). Who's interests are served by the turmoil? I've read that at the lows oil has hit Iran can not maintain it's government programs which prevent internal trouble. Iran funds Hamas and other groups like it. Could all this trouble be a gambit by Iran to boost oil prices? If it is, it seems to be working. Oil: Up $13. Gas: Up 40 cents (wholesale). Could this be the test Joe Biden warned about?
