    Significant Reduction in Petroleum / Gasoline Prices, HOW?

    I agree with you, Bush should do more. I'm not big on the government sticking their nose into things but when it can help the country I'm all for it, Bush should force the auto company's to start building plug in electric vehicles starting with 10% of the cars and increasing every year. Plug...

    Significant Reduction in Petroleum / Gasoline Prices, HOW?

    If you think Bush is mostly responsible for these high oil prices, then Bush has done more for the alternative fuel movement than any other President. I believe these high prices have started alternative things in motion that will lead to the end of oil as a major energy choice. I also believe...

    Significant Reduction in Petroleum / Gasoline Prices, HOW?

    Plug in hybrid. Wouldn't that be nice, a 6000 pound Escalade that gets 100 MPG, it is possible. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060327/20060327005346.html?.v=1

    They don't build them so this guy made one himself. http://greenplanet3.org/ev/

    Significant Reduction in Petroleum / Gasoline Prices, HOW?

    Make oil absolete, we can do it. Obviously the auto company's are influenced by big oil so they will not change unless they are forced. The government needs to see foriegn oil as a threat and set things in motion that will totally eliminate foriegn oil ASAP. Electric vehicles were doing...

    Google Base is here, Ebay is worried. Realty Agents could be absolete.

    Yahoo got greedy and started charging monthly fees for listing real estate and now they are out of the picture for home buying. They hardly have any ads anymore so why bother going there. They have 2 homes for sale in my whole city while Google Base already has thousands for sale and will...

    Gasoline heading to $3 and more

    I did see a prototype with roof mounted solar panels, that would be cool. Here's a good site explaining the charging side. They say it's like 0.72 cents on average for 60 miles of electrical driving. Compare that with $3 a gallon plus you save the trip to the gas station, now you're saving...

    Google Base is here, Ebay is worried. Realty Agents could be absolete.

    Google Base, go to the Housing link right on the Google Base home page and list your home for sale for free. This could really catch on. CNN mentioned that more and more home buyers each year are searching online for a home. Google Base is now making it easier. This could force real estate...

    Gasoline heading to $3 and more

    You don't have to plug it in, you can use it like a standard hybrid and get 25 to 55 MPG depending which vehicle. Or you have an option to plug it in at night and get 200 MPG or if the battery is advanced enough you might not even have to turn on the gas motor at all. It's your choice with a...

    Gasoline heading to $3 and more

    It's good enough for the US Army, which uses hybrid Humvees which can travel 20 miles on electric power alone. Maintenance on the electric side of a hybrid should be little if any. Remember the EV1, the owners just loved the thing, just about no maintenance or repairs needed, just plug it in...

    Gasoline heading to $3 and more

    First of all, I know you got something wrong here. The flex fuel setup is not available on the 2WD, only on the 4WD. Also I know ethanol gets a bit less than gas in MPG but I heard 5-10% and in some cars no noticeable difference. Where did you get those figures? I got my 16/21 MPG on a 2007...

    Gasoline heading to $3 and more

    Little cars are not making enough MPG. Not enough effort has been made in the past to improve them. Something is wrong with this picture when a monster GMC Yukon at 5600 pounds can get 21 MPG Hwy, yet a 2600 pound Mini Cooper gets only 32 MPG Hwy. The Yukon is still more earth friendly...

    Right up there with Reagan's "I don't remember"

    How about "The US is not in the business of nation rebuilding". or "Depends what is is". "I didn't have sexual relations with that woman".

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    Here's a few more links, I also found a thread I started below second link with all the other BMW owners coming out and supporting my issues with BMW. I tried to get BMW to pay for the repairs but obviously BMW does not care about their customers...

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    Buddy, it's not just me, take a look at the BMW message board and see every other owner complaining. I have not been to this website for many years but all the same problems keep popping up there. http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e38/

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    Amazing how the BMW's all have the same problems. I had problems with air bag light and a few other lights on the dash popping up. I would have to disconnect the battery to reset the air bag light but it would only work for a week or 2. I also had windshield problems with air noise, somehow...

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    My parents got burned with many cars like Hyundai, Audi, VW, BMW, and myself I had a horrible experience with a 1997 BMW 740iL which I can explain in detail and can even take you the BMW message board I posted on back then. All my complaints and others are still there for viewing if you would...

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    I have proven above that there is no reason to buy a Toyota. The destruction of the American automibile business is totally unjustified.

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    You have a point there, but the results are nearly identical. I found 274,000 and 311,000 miles and quite a few in the low 200's...

    They Are Vital To our Economy...Not

    Not all conservatives are big on globalization. In fact I believe globalization goes against the very essence of being conservative. I agree with Vehn's post that immigrants need to adapt and love where they live and call themselves American. I'll go one step further. If you put down the...
