[QUOTE="soberups, post: 808143, member: 14668"] If every passenger car in the USA got 40 MPG then we wouldnt need their oil in the first place. The free market[I] will[/I] produce such cars if there is a demand for them, and [I]there will be a demand[/I] if we started paying a $3 per gallon "deficit reduction/military readiness tax" on all non-renewable motor fuels. We may indeed need to drill here in the short term but in the long run we simply cannot drill our way out of our dependence on imported oil. Oil is the problem.....biofuels, electric cars, and sythentic fuels created from coal or biomass are the [I]solution[/I]. I'd like my great-grandchildren to inherit something other than a bankrupt nation sitting on top of a bunch of empty oil wells. [/QUOTE]
