Cheap? Over US$1.50 a gallon is not cheap; it was over US$1.70

weren't taxing it so heavily. At 12 to 13 miles per gallon on the
highway, such prices have a way of adding up. Perhaps we should just
find a way to bottle the hot-air from politicians' mouths and then
find a way to use it to propel vehicles; then, there would be no real,
or perceived, energy shortage.

Alas, you need help. Not to worry; start up Emacs and type:

laughable. Why would one want a UNIX system anywhere
but locked up in a
cupboard or on a researcher's workstation?
So that one can have a useful computer system.
I'd never drive a lorry to work, nor do I like the
M$ Volvo. The
Vespa is much nicer for a single person.
Why not drive a lorry to work? Wouldn't you like to drive a big,
shiny, new Ford F550 pickup truck to work? I recon that you're afraid
that your cow-orkers would turn green with envy... let 'em. :-)
What's a Vespa? I've never heard of one, but I wouldn't want to drive
something with a name like that.
Blame the U.S.
government for fuel economy regulations that killed off
nice cars, not the U.S. auto manufacturers.
Why is that? Isn't petrol cheap enough in the states?
