No matter what side of the pond you live on, the Oil Companies are GOUGING us. And thats the REAL story here...IMO...

Apparently (and correct me if I'm wrong) if the US adopted the same standards as Europe where vehicles have to get 40-50mpg, the US wouldn't be dependent or need oil from OPEC or in other words Oil from over seas.... And the reason it doesn't change in that direction is because of the influencial lobby groups in bed with the government...
