Allright,
Lets keep the politics out of the discussion.
Perhaps this is a learning curve to get rit of the old V8's, which drink far
too much unneedly.

Hi Hans,
What you pay for gas is between you and your politicians. What we pay
for gas is between us and ours. I say this because more of the unit
price most of the world pays for gas is one tax or another than the cost
of the gas alone. (Gad, what a cumbersome sentence. (G) )
