    Its all relative RBJ...minimum wage here is $11.50 per hour while average industrial  wage is $24 p/h, mind you tax has increased a lot this year on petrol and pressure is being put on government to do something fast, as we all know when pump prices rise so too the cost of transporting goods and food...

    I live an hour's drive from Titusville, PA. "the birthplace of the oil industry".
    There is still oil in the ground there, just like many other places in the U.S., I can't understand why we import oil here.
    I know there are millions of excuses, but I don't believe any one of them.

    Fortunately we all ride motorcycles & motorcycles get good mileage so for @ least 1/2 the year we can get along on very little gas.
    Wait, motorcycles go thru tires like s' thru a goose & tires are made out of guess what - Oh s' we are cooked
