Good posts ..... I like the insights on the economy. Inflation is here and will be for a while. Chryslers $2.99 is a damn joke. If the auto industry was worth anything it would start producing all (including trucks) with mileage per gallon @ 40mpg. We have the technology because water powered cars (Honda Accord) and trucks .... yes trucks (Chevy). I saw a water powered Chevy the other day in my hometown of Eagle River, Alaska. I remember the 70's gas crunch my parents went through .... and it looks like we are stumbling on the same thing today. And car mileage has not changed much ..... wake up America and stop ripping off the consumer with crappy mileage produced cars .... anything under 40mpg is a joke.
