Or take the bus...I hear Portland has a good mass transit system.

I think when 50%+ of your gas price comes from taxes, which amount to being your own faultyou kinda loose the right to complain..

You know, Atrocities, I looked at this thread and went, "I don't see any link to an article." Then I looked at the date stamp and went, "oh, April Fool's Day." So I posted to the effect that I don't believe it. But then I thought it would be inconsiderate to call an April Fool's bluff without letting some fools take the bait.

I could be wrong though.

I am crying because I enjoy going to the beach and to eastern oregon to ride my Quad with friends and family. The higher the price of gas, the less we get to do this.

And for the record, the Mass Transit in Portland, (Max and the busses) are good, but I no longer live there

Rats. It's a shame this isn't just an April Fool's joke that went off 50 minutes too early. I hate driving with gas as it is. Looks like I'll be purchasing a more gas effective vehicle soon.

Well, I counted up OPEC's production per day for 2000 and came up with 27,700,000 barrels, so that's about right for 4%, so...

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
