Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Cheap gas O.T.
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - While Americans are shelling out record prices for fuel, Iraqis pay only about 5 cents a gallon for gasoline - a benefit of hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies bankrolled by American taxpayers."  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 62 Lark 2 door 61 Hawk 60? Hawk 53 Starlight Yeah, but damn few car bombs go off in America today. My electric is on all the time and I have as much running water as I want. Oh, yeah - we're killing the islamist fundamentalists ....THERE. instead of them killing us ....HERE. I'll live with the gas prices, thank you..... It seems to be economically feasible to set up a coal gasification plant to convert high sulfur bituminous coal to unleaded gas (plus liquid sulfer and another couple of marketable byproducts). Pop was involved in plans for a plant like that in '79, but it never came to completion. Calculated cost in '79 was .89 per gallon. (no taxes) Dunno how that would figure out today. Mark (We ain't got it so bad) Dunning Well, If you like the gas prices over there, move over there! Just watch out for flying bullets, car bombs etc. Mark, you ARE right, I also have CLEAN running water, electricity that's on all the time, a solid roof over my head, and I don't worry about car bombs and flying bullets. I LIKE my freedom! I also have "several" cars that I own, The reason gas is so cheap over there, not very many people have cars to drive! I'll be leaving for Ashville in a short while, in my Studebaker! Jim Turner I doubt one can gather much sympathy for the Islamic bad guys with that story. (A bit of trolling in process with that story). But one may be able to read between the lines, and whine some about some past election, or how bad our current president is.

Hell, gas in Iraq hasn't been over 5 cents a gallon for years... so this isn't exactly breaking news. What's the average household income in Iraq these days... about $4.00/month? Does each family own 3 cars... their dependancy on gasoline is probably a drop in the bucket compared to the US.

UH-oh, there ya' go again John! LOL > "BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - While Americans are shelling out record prices for > fuel, Iraqis pay only about 5 cents a gallon for gasoline - a benefit of > hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies bankrolled by American > taxpayers." Hell, gas was free under Saddam... JT > UH-oh, there ya' go again John! LOL > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > 60? Hawk > > 53 Starlight And we are glad to have enlightened them.
