And you're posting this to a newsgroup frequented by people who are
actually doing something about it for what reason exactly?

Gee, there's a surprise. Hell, half of the Hummers I see have "W" stickers
on 'em. Can't understand it, and I'll go crazy if I keep trying to...

And the top 2 countries that the USA imports its petroleum products
from aren't even in OPEC.

Top 15 countries for Jan/Feb 2007:
Canada
Mexico
Venezuela *
Saudi Arabia *
Nigeria *
Algeria *
Angola *
Iraq *
Virgin Islands
United Kingdom
Russia
Ecuador
Kuwait *
Brazil
Trinidad and Tobago
* denotes country is currently a member of OPEC


If you look at totals for all petroleum imports into the US, all non-
OPEC countries combined is more than all OPEC countries combined.

Okay, so what do you want the readers of this newsgroup to do about it,
buy car that gets 50 MPG? We've already done that! So, back to my
original question, why are you posting this here?

I think he already answered...he's looking for people to accept his opinion.
That's all he can hope to get here. No opportunities to troll or start
trouble here...it's like trying to start a schoolyard brawl by giving out
candy. Maybe he's warming up for a good flame war in the Hummer newsgroup.
