Good stuff. It will reduce gasoline consumption and drive people to smaller vehciles and transit. It's all good except that the profits just flow to the oil companies. The govt need to step in here and get a piece of that action, they could use it to lower other taxes.

[Zipperfish]

Yeah, that's just what they'll do. I can just see it now...

"Hey we're raking it in with the gas tax."
"Yeah, maybe we should lower the other taxes to make up for it."

I thought that's what Harper is all about. He's no tax and spend Fiberal you know. Good, honest politician who looks out for the middle class.

Looks like the end of the "recession" for me, not that there was one. Going to be another busy year it seems.

Not this shit again.

hmm, I wonder how well a 2003 ford with the 7.3L diesel will handle increased fuel prices...

The same as any other vehicle. You'll pay more to fill the tank. I don't get the question.

It's sarcasm Andy... I know a 7.3 will have shitty fuel economy.

My little Japanese minitruck is sidelined while I hunt down a radiator and I had to grab an F250 with a 460V8 for work.
Instead of $30 every 10 days, it costs me $92 every three days. Arggh.

Relative to your vehicle's capacity, it shouldn't be all that bad. Just comes down to whether you need all that hauling power.

10-20% of the time in the immediate future, but within the next year or 2 50% of the time it will be used for actual truck shit, so I want one with what I already know is a reliable engine. I actually have a very short commute to work, so it shouldn't be too bad.

But at the end of it all, I was just trying to crack a joke.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

You don't believe there was a recession Spr?

Hmm

Yeah well some of us certainly felt it and still do, so we certainly believe in it's comforting presence...

Gotta read carefully: No recession for me.

More and more business year in, year out.

No jobber model available at your local auto parts store? Are they a unique thing in some way?
