Our Constitution Mangled, our Bill of Rights Squashed, our elected officials more corrupt than honest. Tell me please.. 8 yrs ago (pre- GW Bush) Gasoline around 1.00/gal, Motor Oil .79/quart 8.00/case, Milk 1.15/Gal. Today: Gasoline OVER 3.00/gal, Motor Oil 2.79/quart 25.00/case, Milk nearly 4.00/gal. In the early 1900's gasoline was a throwaway by product mr Hen ry Ford found a use for it and the whole world jumped on the bandwagon.. I was 18 in 1976 and I remember gasoline was about 30-50 CENTS/gal.. Now look at it.. somebody free up your patents for the 100 mile/gal carberators, the electric car yes CHEVRON release the NIMH Auto Battery.. it has uses today
