do you think they will ever set the speed limit to 55 on all highways like they did in the 70's when the fuel crunch hit?
I read where truckers have already reduced their speed's to save fuel

I did that until last summer when my truck was broken into. And I graduated college in 04 lol.

It doesn't help that the biggest user of oil from the Middle east Valero is now the majority of places to buy gas around here, you have to go outt of the way to find one.

I thought Valero was a big Venezulean buyer of oil?

Someone told me they had their own refineries (sp).

Actually, they only use American Oil products.

Not to add to the confusion but I thought Valero was Israeli owned.
