where to start?
economics
well, it could work, IF we all would quite buying it like mentioned, but we wont
so, instead it will probably go up to compensate. PLUS the big 2? well, they sell to many many more than we can count, so instead up goes the other companies for them to compensate.
And for the other end, those companies are buying form the same places, so, if this falls, the refineries are gonna compensate across the board. If exxon does not buy, up goes sunoco's cost to compensate. BC we will continue to buy no matter what, How about fuel oil. You don't think that they will compensate there as will. Either way, we will pay. With fuel, we shoudl consider ourselves very lucky. I can remember in the 70s paying mroe than that in europe for gas.
now suv's
I have one, and the gas isn't as bad as some cars i have owned, i get about 20
but, I need it. Snow here stinks
my wife has to travel bad mountains to work, and her grand am can't cut them.
my grandad, who I take places frequently cannot get into my wifes grand am, he slides into the suv nicely, but cannot et up and down like that. I also haul things for work, which would be more than just a nuance in most cars. some of which would be more than immpossible, and I cannot haul in a truck. NOT weather resistant. A van may be better, but would not get around, except maybe an AWD, but their gas is not as good as what I am getting. and when it comes to being up above the rest of the other vehicles, well, I do have to admit I hate driving her car at night, I cannot see, betwen the SUVs, and big trucks, AND the little cars with those new lights, aimed directly into my eyes! As far as my hating or supporting any vehicle, I have mine and love it and am the ONE paying the payment, the insurance, and the gas and maintenance! You are paying yours. AND neithr of us are the ones responsible for the prices. NEITHER!! It is the whole economy, and war and such. It does not matter if I use more. I pay for each gallon I use, so the price will be the same per gallon. If I use less, the price per gallon is the same.
MY OPINION:
Supply and demand concept will not affect teh price going down on things we have to have. Only the upswing.
they know we need and will get it somewhere.
now, I do share, I feel it unneccessary to take 2 vehicles to the same place, so, if 5 or 6 of us are going out, we will take my SUV instead of 2 or 3 other cars, thus conserving. I also think it is uneccessary to drive 100 ft for bread or milk. As well, if we are going to the mall shoping, I will take the car, If I do not need the truck.
As for the 16 yr old punks, not being jealous, but I feel that you should learn to drive before getting a vehicle like a lincoln navigator. Many of them are wreckless enough as it is. I learned in a chevette. Then got my own vehicle. Status is not needed by a 16 yr old driver. As well as the added size and security making them more wreckless. I cannot think of how many times i heard my 17 yr old niece say "if she had a ...... this driver would not have....." or " If I had your truck, I bet that person would not have cut in front of me" or "Go ahead, that other car coming down the alley will wait on you". First learn to drive, then learn to drive and care for a bigger vehicle, It to me is like taking a 3 yr old and giving thema harley instead of a big wheel or tricycle. Not to mention the lack of respect for these extravagant gifts.
WHY, HOW? DID I GET DRAWN INTO A DISCUSSION LIKE THIS?
