and they're going to blame Obama for it.

Never mind the "free market" through speculation is what got the price so high in the first place. Not to mention that the oil industry may or may not be colluding, but they know what higher prices will mean in November. They're also letting the great unwashed think that not drilling in national parks and not allowing dirty tar sand from Canada to be piped to the Gulf of Mexico is causing shortages and higher prices. And they're not exactly touting the fact the oil produced will be sold on the open market where most of it will end up overseas.

I also seem to recall when Bush2* was running for pres. for the first time, we were told that having guys with oil industry experience was going to help bring the price of fuel down. What a crock.

Yeah, the volt is tough. You'd have to go the 'cop car' floor mount type rack - but it's possible. Edweird Feb 2012 #6

It's a terrible problem. Of all the problems in my life, that floor mount gun rack is CTyankee Feb 2012 #16
