Listen people, oil is not a big thing anymore, natural gas heaters are the only way to go in America, mainly because it is very much cheaper and effecient than oil, and for those people in America who have Electric Heaters, get rid of them, because the electric heaters dont heat the air, they burn the air at 150 degrees Farenheit, and the fuel that is used in the production of the electricity will be tremendous. 1 Gallon of home heating oil is $4.75, 1 gallon of liquid natural gas is $2.47, and natural gas is 24% more effecient then oil. So which is the best bet for Americans in the future. And Europeans, dont get me started on them, sure I admit Americans are very lazy and also slightly drunk on power, but that is the Rich American Man who does nothing in his life. The hard working Middle Class person is who worries about fuel prices. Pretty soon the price of oil will go up around the World because of thrid world countries starting to industrialize. Sure Electrical Heaters are 100% effeicent, but they are also the #1 highest cost to maintain and produce heat. People if you want to save money, I suggest either you find something better than gas, cause we got almost no time left before Frontlines: Fuel of War begins in real life.

For example, the middle and lower class citizens that don't have cars that receive 305 plus mpg. The ones that have to raise a family AND cope with $4 gas. Yeah, this has an affect on them beacuse they have to do more for their children and such. You also seem to not be looking at the ones who have family out of town. I live in North Texas and my family stays in Central Arkansas. If my grandmother gets sick, how can I, as a young full-time student, plan an emergency trip 8 hours down the highway if gas is so high? Not everyone has an advantage like you do, and obviously it is a big issue if 74% of the people who took that poll said they'd alter their driving for the summer. All people like myself are asking for is a little break. We're not asking for government assistance or section 8 housing - we just don't want to be assed out to get 3 miles down the road!

In the UK, 100 miles is far, far away. In the US, 100 years is a long, long time.
