So you're telling me that you're researching the financial statements and cost structure of these companies? Riiiiiiigggggghhhhtttttt!!! :wink: :wink:

Look, there are people far better educated on these matters than I am, economists, businessmen, etc., who are saying basically the same thing, so how about going and telling them that they are just "sounding educated" or that they are saying what they "*think* things should be".

I was just remembering that today... remembering how ludicrous $2.00 seemed just a sweet short time ago... once upon a time I could fill my car up for $12. Not so much anymore. Someone needs to get on hydrogen research, like now.

My Vespa gets 70 Miles to the gallon.

But if you really want a machine that truly sips gas.
This car right here gets 300 miles to the gallon. Around 30K and they have an all electric version as well.
