First things first Jimmy, if you drive a gas sucking pig - you'd need to live in a mud hut and eat fruits and berries to make up for that.

Instead it is only about maximizing consumption & consumerism.


I couldn't agree with Chuck and Yogi more. But this country had a leader who really wanted to work on this reduced power idea. Poor ol' Jimmy Carter. You all saw what a lovely reception his gentle leadership in that area engendered.

You know what they say about leading a horse to water.

I fear that until the oil runs out, it is going to be a huge uphill battle to get la gente to drink from the pond of conservation and alternative resources.

I own three cars, Lowell. One sits in the garage and is driven about 100 miles a year. The other two sit in the driveway and get about 20 and 30 miles to the gallon. But seeing as though I usually only drive about 20-30 miles a week, total since I have been retired, I don't worry that much about gasoline. That's why I said in an earlier post that when I go to a gas station, all I give them is $20.00. That's all they get from me in about a month. $20.00.......... And thanks, shep. I will look into the electric water heaters. I didn't know they were out yet. I bought an 80 gallon electric water heater about five years ago, but it is very impractical now. Good luck, guys!

Agreed. Let's just hope they have something left to shoot at!

It doesn't matter how much gas they use if I don't drive them does it? Or is that as broad as it is wide?

What was the question to this post anyway? Oh well! It's time to crawl into bed, watch Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully solve another X-File case before I fall off to sleep. And dream about my valuptuous side by sides. Good night and good shooting.
