well, I'm also a native New Yorker, I also travel and live in Europe par of the year and I remember the energy crisis in the 70's. my parent's Ford station wagon had an even plate while our Nova had an odd plate...
I have always driven a small fuel-efficient car and just love to watch the SUV's fill up forever at the gas station while I am 10 gallons and gone!!!
sometimes it seems I was the only one paying attention to the crying Indian commercials in the 70's...
did you see the oil companies all lined up in a row testifying at a Senate commitee on CSPAN???...a bunch of old smug white men with golden parachutes getting chewed out by a young Democrat white woman from FL...what fun!!!
and their answer: that the only way to reduce prices now is to allow them to drill in the US...
