Gas Prices Plummet, but Nobody Buys an SUV!
Okay, that's not quite true, but true enough to spark a story in today's New York Times. This past couple of weeks we've seen the price at the pump drop close to a dollar as the oil companies try to help Georgie Boy's low approval ratings. The November elections are only a few weeks away, and the Republicans aren't looking so good.
The Times is acting shocked that America hasn't rushed in mass to save Ford and Chevy's butts by slurping up all those gas guzzlers gathering dust on their new car lots, now that we can almost afford to fill their tanks. Ha! Fool me once … as Georgie Boy once stumbled through. Nobody buys the lie that fuel is going to be cheap for very long. We all know full well that Exxon and their brotherhood put Georgie Boy into office in order to fill their pockets. The low price at the pump is just a momentary form of campaign contributing.
So top off now. Take the lawnmower can with you and fill it too. By the time you drive to Grandma's for Turkey Day dinner, the chances are pretty good you'll be paying premium prices again.
And email Detroit that you'd prefer one of those Japanese cars that gets at least 40 miles to the gallon in real world driving conditions, not that stupid EPA nonsense they put on the window sticker.
