Don't know if the Media controls the world or not, but they sure do dumb people down. The garbage on TV is on the level of gradeschool in terms of logic, perception and subtlety of thought.

Turning off the TV is usually good advice.

Great advice! Do some on line research, open a Etrade or Scott Trade account and buy some oil stock. USO (United States Oil Fund ETF) is what I have owned and recently bought back into. In April of 2007 I bought it for $50/share. Sold ½ in July 2008 for $100/share and the other ½ in October for $70/share. Last week I bought it back for $30/ share and today it is $35/share. If you believe that OPEC production cut or next years hurricanes will effect oil prices, take advantage and make some money. Don’t consider this writing as advice. DO YOUR OWN REASEARCH. Hopefully your next Yaris will be paid for in cash.

gas prices in Alaska have been rising slightly. but our RUG price has not fallen below $2.30. the state government discovered that since Alaska has only 2 refiners, they seem to be price fixing.

but i am ready for a price increase. before i had this Yaris, i had a diesel volkswagen, i was used to paying $3.50 plus for diesel. mid summer diesel was over $5.40 a gallon.

gid · 01-04-2009, 07:47 AM

oil now $46 a barrel , since ISRAELI ground assault the price is guaranteed to climb .

gid · 01-06-2009, 03:14 PM

now $49.12 a barrel .

33OH · 01-06-2009, 04:53 PM

Went from $1.79 to $1.99 this morning here.

in JAPAN the buses turn off and on automatically when taken out of gear to save fuel when stopped . People also turn off their vehicles or are encouraged to shut down motors when stopped in traffic , etc..

I was surprised when I saw this as well. All the busses are manual transmission and it's interesting how they has to say over the loud speaker that they're looking and it's safe to all the riders, everytime they change lanes. Like you said, normal cars also often shut off their engines and at least lights at stops. It's amazing to see what humans are capable of if they try.

I don't remember ever the bus drivers saying they were changing lanes... course... I only rode the bus about 3 times... and not sure how much lane changing happened. Trains will get you to almost anywhere a bus will in japan.

I think the North American perception of japan is highly skewed... just because a few vehicles have some crazy technologies, or a specific area has crazy policies/proceedures for the drivers doesn't mean that is the norm.

No time to watch TV (except for Heroes), too busy playing World of Warcraft. . .
