WAQY in Springfield Mass. is horrible- they were destroyed by Evilcorp over a decade ago, and have played the same pre-recorded set of songs over every day fror over a decade- NOW THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL COMMUNISM! I think that is what he means about NOT letting USA be the communist state it is heading into from those corps now. It does not mean the rich should be taxed to death, no no no. It means there should be a curve in the tax brackets where poor hardly get taxed at all, so they have opportunity to grow. No taxes penalizing people for working hard and taking all their overtime pay in taxes. Let middle class pay fair tax and no more. Let rich pay a fair tax and no more or less. BUT when business gets super huge, then the tax curve should make it increasingly hard to make more profit. They can make more money, it is just harder and harder the more the company grows. That way all can prosper, but no business can get too huge while still being able to make more money.

People in the lower 50% of income in the states only pay about 5% of all taxes in the states. The top 10% pay 80% of all taxes. Have you ever been to a real communist country before? I have and I can say, our country is not a communist country ....yet!!! If Hillary or Obama get to the whitehouse you can bet we will be headed in that direction. One of the things that bothers me about the demacrats is when they (clinton, or obama) make a speach they always recite word for word from the communist manifesto. Now that scares me. I am lucky enough that if they win, I won't live long enough to live under thier communist rule. Well, not for long though. Good Luck Dakota49

Tips 4 Efficient Engine Operation = Better MPG Ten Tips for efficient engine operation which will improve performance and MPG in these times of higher gasoline prices. 1. Pay attention to how you drive. Don't exceed highway speed limits. Use moderate-to-easy acceleration. Gas mileage is negatively affected by fast acceleration and fast deceleration. Use cruise control on highway trips. Maintaining a constant speed helps reduce fuel consumption. 2. Engine maintenance Maintain a properly tuned engine. Dirty spark plugs do not create the maximum spark and cause reduced horsepower and increased emissions. 3. Limit reliance on air conditioning Limit use of air conditioning, especially during hot summer days. Yes, we know it's not as comfortable but the issue here is saving gas. 4. Synthetic lubricants - Amsoil Switch to synthetic motor oil and drivetrain lubricants. Independent tests show savings of five to eight percent using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and ATF. 5. Air filter Install clean air filter as needed. To get optimal efficiency from your engine, it has to breathe. 6. Aerodynamics Keep windows rolled up at speeds over 40 mph. Open windows when driving over 40 mph can create a wind drag that will lower your mileage. Avoid use of roof rack. Reduce aerodynamic drag and improve your fuel economy by placing items inside the trunk whenever possible. Sun roofs also disturb smooth aerodynamic air flow and reduce mileage. 7. Tire Maintenance Properly inflate your tires. Keep tires balanced and rotated regularly. Use radial tires for less friction between tire and road. Keep front-end aligned for better mileage and longer tire life. 8. Excess weight Pack light and clean out your trunk. Every 200 pounds of unnecessary weight shaves one mile per gallon off your gas mileage. You would be surprised how much stuff most people carry around in their trunks that they aren't using. 9. Minimize Idling. Idling any longer than a minute wastes gas and one minute of idling uses more fuel than restarting your engine. When possible avoid drive-thrus. Idling for as little as 10 minutes while you sit in line can waste 5 or 6 miles worth of gas. Limit warm-ups to 30 seconds. Allowing your vehicle to idle excessively wastes gas. 10. Plan and combine your trips. Make a list and do all your grocery shopping once a week. Car pool, hike it, bike it or use public transportation if possible.

dodger Dodge Dakota JOIN HERE 3/10/2008 19:15:37	RE: $4 a gallon IP: Logged Message: To dakota49, Yes, that is what I see, but there is something wrong with an alagarchy where 1% of the nation controls 99% of the wealth. Decent hard working people with valuable trades even, can't even afford apartments or telephones in Connecticut. There is something wrong with the tax system. Indeed USA is not communist right now. The fear is that it is heading that way by just a small handful of corporations owning all the food supply outlets, radio and broadcast stations, newspapers and media, all store outlets, energy supply, etc. and what is really communist like, the corporations are controlling our government which totaly devoids our constituton. The government allowing itself to be paid off by corporations is illegal and that spells dictatorship. What has happened to USA can't really be called communism, but it can't be free capitalism for everyone, just for the few that own all the hotels on the monopoly board and control our government that we the people are supposed to be in control of. We are the corporations' pawns that they first control supplies we need, then overprice them knowing we have to buy them. We have a choice not to, but to be a part of society we have to. They are manipulating freedom definitions to only benefit them. What is worse is people are so blind, they think everything is OK, think the soldiers invading countries under false pretenses are doing so for our benefit instead of feeding a serious cancer. They think all the lies in all the ads are honest, They think attacks with motor vehicles on innocent citizens are just someone with bad driving. I think they know the country is going to fall apart soon, but feel better pretending everything is OK instead of taking a stand. History couldn't understand how so many followed Adolf Hitler, and humanity vowed to never let that happen again, but our own country's government is doing it again and fooling the people into thinking they are up to something good.

dakota49 Dodge Dakota JOIN HERE 3/12/2008 16:04:04	RE: $4 a gallon IP: Logged Message: dodger, I would suggest you leave the great state of Connecticut.I Was born and raised in Ohio, but due the Communist party there(democrates) I deicded to go some place else. I have done good for myself, and if you can't do good where you are then try some place else. Look at Michigan, they have had so many people leave there they are begging companies to come do business there. The dem's are like communist, they want the people to HAVE to depend on them, that way they will have more power, one thing you are right about though, so many people today think the answer to all their problems is GOVERNMENT, the way I see it is, government is the problem. Instead of letting people make it or fail on their own, everyone seems to think the government should pick them up if they fail. I have fallen a few times, but I always come up with a way for me to help me, not the tax payers. Good Luck Dakota49

dodger Dodge Dakota JOIN HERE 3/12/2008 19:11:06	RE: $4 a gallon IP: Logged Message: dakota49, Gas in Connecticut up to $3.40 for regular at some stations and Diesel hit $4.00 at those same stations. HERE IT COMES! Learn to swim fast! USA is going down from greedy and corrupt whack jobs we let be in power and are too chicken to rise up and oust. What the governor of Connecticut is doing I don't know. Connecticut is becoming unaffordible for the normal people. Some kind of 'rich' totaliarism going on. Governor Rell has a big gasoline tax hike going, them told us she would eliviate it, then said she wasn't going to lift it. Of all things to tax with gas the way it is, what is she trying to do? I would like to move, but you are forgetting that with no money, job lined up, place to live lined up, you can't just up and leave. Eventualy, yes, but it is a slow process. I don't think the government should come to our rescue or tell us what to do. It's job is to keep us safe so there is nothing to rescue us from. They are supposed to stop those that treaten us but aren't. They support the crookery and anarchy on the roads that is destroying USA.
wow Dodge Dakota JOIN HERE 3/15/2008 13:06:28	RE: $4 a gallon IP: Logged Message: The trillions of dollars in overprofit from the gas being triple the cost it was in the late 1990s should have covered the rebuilding of the refineries since 2005, wouldn't you think? It's understandible that supply and demand has to do with gas prices, but if supply and demand is the indicator of the price of gas, then according to that statistic, the numbers of the population increase that drives and consumes gasoline hardly grew at all through the 1990s when gas prices remained stable at a little over $1.00 per gallon, the all of a sudden the gasoline consuming driving population tripled over the course of a 3 years in the 2000s. It's funny how the gas prices started skyrocketing to absurd degrees right around all the funky and very suspicious stuff started happening in government with messed up elections, 9/11, and stock market corruption in 2002. It's hard to buy the supply and demand theory.

Dakota49" Well see there you go, and even Wal-Mart is having problems fill up the parking spaces (not just due to like of cashiers)so if people can't even afford to shop and a cheap retail store then we are really in for it somewhere down the road. I happen to have a uncle who was in the trucking bussniess and had to retire because of his eysite going out. but he still keeps up with the paper work even though he turned it over to his oldest kid. He still has 5 truck and it coast nearly 1200 dollars to fill each one up. I just wonder what it going to take for these truckers to go on strike?

Jose, you are such a moron. How do you figure that I get free gas? Self service 100LL is hovering around $4.25/gal. This area's average is $4.76/gal. That's about $350 to fill up. Now quit your whining.
dakota49 Dodge Dakota JOIN HERE 3/18/2008 18:45:21	RE: $4 a gallon IP: Logged Message: STS, I don't see how truckers going on strike would help, I think one thing everyone seems to be forgetting is that we are living in a WORLD econemy, the rest of the world is wanting the same oil that we in the states want as well, and it would seem as though there isn't enough for everyone. Our government isn't helpping either cause they don't want to let oil companies take oil from our own ground. I am working on a machine that will break up water, H2O into hydragen, and oxygen, recover the hydrogen, compress it and send it to the hydrogen tank then on to the engine, the problem I see with that is, in places where they have water shortages they wouldn't be allowed to use water for gas. Although, you could use dirty water, cause the machine can break down any water into hydrogen, and oxygen. I'm sure if I come up with something that will really work the government will find a way to screw it up, or over tax it. Good Luck to all, Dakota49
