Cobra Owners: think about this when you Fill up this weekend!

If everyone who thinks that someone other than our misguided policies are to blame for the sudden run-up in prices & not the currently cartel dominated supply,they should support removal of all restrictions on exploration, drilling and refineries. When the prices don't change all of us drilling advocates will graciously turn over our keys to our gas guzzlers. You may blame speculators, the american public, the major oil companies, Bush, Cheney, Halliburton & others on the socialist hit list, but assigning the blame isn't going to accomplish anything. We are currently not in control of the market in oil, our american based oil companies that everyone wants to tax or at least blame are responsible for a very small amount of actual crude production. Increasing the amount of crude produced outside of the cartel will at least reduce the control they have. By the way we import finished products not just crude due to a lack of refining capacity.

Mulv, the reason your race fuel has not gone up as much as the pump gas or Diesel in your tow rig is that the refinary capacity for race fuel is sufficent. The Chinese and Indians buying cars are not burning Race Fuel. The numbers of entrants are dropping in events due to the pump prices so the demand for the Race Fuel is going down (relatively). Supply and demand, baby. We must increase our refinary capacity as well as our oil supply in order to make a difference in the price at the pump. I agree that reducing our usage (decrease demand) would be helpful too. I'm just gonna be like ALGORE and tell you all how to conserve fuel by walking to work while I drive my Cobra as much as possible and run as many events with the Porsche as I can afford! Because I am important, just like Al. Keep driving the Cobra and enjoy what is left of the summer!
