Even if Gas goes to 7 Bucks per Galllon, we will still drive

Here in S Cal, we all know that public transportation is the Pitts, No matter what it costs, we will still drive to work , drive to the supermarket and still drive to our entertainment.

The tracks have nothing to worry about.


What I saw today, we all complain, but we still drive.

Any Comments.

I didnt even know he did a seminar. I dont like to listen to people's opinions. I like to lose $ on my own. Thanks though. ALso thanks for the video, ive never seen it. very informative. But im wondering, did the HOA for that condo conversion complex know he was shooting his video there? they usually frown on...well, everything.

When Ty starts winning handicapping contests (like Mitch21 has), I'll become a believer.

I concur. Ty's favorite movie is "Other People's Money" starring Danny Devito.

U.S. Was Net Oil-Product Exporter for First Time Since 1949

The U.S. exported more gasoline, diesel and other fuels than it imported in 2011 for the first time since 1949, the Energy Department said.

Shipments abroad of petroleum products exceeded imports by 439,000 barrels a day, the department said today in the Petroleum Supply Monthly report. In 2010, daily net imports averaged 269,000 barrels. U.S. refiners exported record amounts of gasoline, heating oil and diesel to meet higher global fuel demand while U.S. fuel consumption sank.

This is the reason that the phrase, "drill, baby drill" is bogus and won't have an effect on gas prices. All the oil taken in this country goes on the "world market." Don't let the "drill baby drill people fool anyone. Any jobs that are produced, by more drilling, will only last a short while.
