TD Ryan2 316 Posted April 26, 2011 you hear about people "changing their driving habits", I'm now one of them. it's not because of the speedometer. it's not because of the gas gauge. it's because of that little electronic readout that tells me how many MPG I'm currently getting... driving faster, the MPG is terrible, drive slower, the MPG is better. It has made me drive considerably slower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 2,682 Posted April 26, 2011 Here's an interesting read, important and verifiable information : About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and One of the Forbes Bros. Was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to Ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil Does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more Than all the Middle East put together." Please read below. The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a Revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in This area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota , western South Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana ....... Check THIS out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign Oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion Barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel, We're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion. "When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see Their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst. "This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found In the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a Formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and Into Canada .. For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead End. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells Decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up The Bakken's massive reserves.... And we now have access of up to 500 Billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels Will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years Straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one Should - because it's from 2006! U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the Largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION Barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In Three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this Motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, Than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates: - 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia - 18-times as much oil as Iraq - 21-times as much oil as Kuwait - 22-times as much oil as Iran - 500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in the Western United States . HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America Become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of People dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in This very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION Barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in The world today, reports The Denver Post. Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think Again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just Might be funding the environmentalists? Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this: Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you Should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by Doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain. -------- Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you Sent this to every one in your address book. By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!! GOOGLE it, or follow this link.

Voltaire 5,511 Posted April 27, 2011 3.89 here in southern Indiana. On my trips from Detroit to St. Louis, I always stopped for gas as I passed through Indiana.

As a matter of fact, before such a long trip, I would deliberately not top off to begin if I knew I had enough gas in my tank to get to Indiana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your plan is to drill in Alaska, that's really not going to get you very far. Ever heard if ANWAR? Obama just pulled the rug out from underneath Shell on 5 permits to drill off the Alaska coast where there is a shilaod of oil. Why? Because Shell's environmental impact study didn't include emmissions from the tugboats to take the rigs out there. (I think it was the tugs, some ship emmissions). That's fukked up.
