I am by no means any kind of expert on fossil fuels...but is there really a shortage of oil/fuel ?? or is it just the fact that the folks we buy oil from finally got smart and realized they can charge us whatever they want for it...??
Reducing laps, less cars etc. is kind of silly if you ask me. If these folks can afford to play, let 'em, its entertaining. Maybe we should all hunt and fish less too...save the fuel it takes to drive to the huntin' grounds.
