How about those gas prices!!

Well as the debate goes on and Queen nancy capitulates and says she might allow a vote on offshore drilling , the price of oil hits the skids. Yesterday on the coast I saw $3.99 diesel for the first time in months. Regular unleaded was $3.40. By the way just blame me for the higher cost of diesel; ya see I bought a Jeep Liberty with a Damler built diesel engine in it , when diesel was cheaper than gas. Go figure? While we're at it blame me for the end of the Damler /Chrysler patnership. Same Jeep! But I diegress! Its almost ridiculus that we think of $3.99 as good , but I guess you have to start somewhere. and any relief is welcome , so thats why we need to keep the pressure on these do nothing public servants , that think we drive to much and pay to little for our fuel! This election would be a great year to put the fear of God in them an just "toss the bums out". To conclude , if our congress would just unite , for the good of the people and vote to allow drilling offshore , and then get the hell out of there way , we would see $2.50 gas by election time. That would be a GOOD thing!!! By the way , why do they keep calling it regular unleaded? There hasn't been leaded Gas for Years!

I spent a few years as a construction manager building gas stations, and I wondered about the whole "regular unleaded" thing myself! And the thing that frustrates me the most about the drilling is that other countries are going off our coast anyway and drilling, so why shouldn't we? Our methods and regulations are certainly better than theirs!
