National Boycott Gas Day

[blike]

but it seems a bit, er, complaintative on the part of the American public (those of them who do complain, that is).

It is. I've only seen gas above $2/gallon once in my lifetime, so I suppose everyone thinks something has gone horrible awry when the price reaches that high.

 

I don't think it will be long now before we start drilling in alaska.

 

Sorry about the kerry bash, had to throw that one in

 

Edit: And what sayonara just said. (except the part about buying proper cars )

That's true Sayonara, hadn't thought of that. Bah, everyone in the USA should just follow the UK's example then and get one-wheel drive Mini's! Or Jaguar E-Types. They're both British.

 

About Alaska, yeah, they'll probably start drilling there soon as well. They've already got the longest pipeline in the world going from Alaska through Canada to the USA, I believe. I heard somewhere that they think there's about as much oil in those reserves as in the Middle East, though I find that hard to believe.

I think that's a gas pipeline(s) that goes through Canada.

I thought it was oil? i heard about that pipeline once on a show.

Yes, there's a pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, in Alaska. But I'm pretty sure that any pipeline running through Canada is natural gas.
