people need to get the idea that hybrids are not "affordable"... because that isn't true anymore...

I am sooo glad I don't work at a gas station anymore. Though I do reacall 5 years ago when I did and gas went down to like 89 cents, now there be some happy customers! Now I'm not the smarterest, and I don't doubt that there would be some reason this wouldn't work, but what if instead of just boycotting the gas people boycotted the reason for the gas? I mean like what if every one picked a weekend to stay home instead of going out. They wouldn't need to fill up the night before because they wouldn't be going anywhere.

Buy Citgo if you can.

Does this mean you can't eat bean burritos on that day either?

Most of Citgo's oil comes from Venzuela, not the Middle East. Chavez wants to provide cheap oil for the lower income classes in the US. If he were to lower the price of gas via Citgo, the other oil companies would be forced to follow suit. It's part of the reason our current government wants to off him so bad.

Wow--that is interesting, I will have to keep this in mind!

By the way, whoever said hybrids are ugly: I guess it's a matter of opinion. I have a friend who owns a silver Toyota Prius, and people are always asking him wherever he goes, "ooh, that's a cute car, what is it?" and stuff. It's also quite popular with the environmentally conscious celebrities for whatever reason, LOL.
