The VW is a no brainer.
I would jump right on a Diesel stick shift with all wheel drive.
Ultimate beach transport.
My xB gets the job done. It will haul 2 sxr if I need it to and get 30 mpg towing.
Diesel needs to get more popular in the states so the supply logistics can get smoothed out. At times there are tankers full of diesel sitting off the coast with no where to go with it. We need to drill our own oil if for nothing else but to protect ourselves. The minute we announce drilling prices will go down even if the first drop doesn't hit the pumps for 8 years. OPEC will no we are serious about increasing production we we announce drilling. It will scare alot of middleeast countries into limiting their fairly obvious market exploitation. I want to make it clear, domestic drilling should be MANDATORY. Currently the oil companies are in no hurry to drill new areas contrary to popular belief. The oil in the ground will come out someday and it will be more expensive then. We need to get it out NOW. In 10 yaers oil may be a source of energy used primarily by 2nd and 3rd world countries, at least compared to our usage now. Our price of gasoline is really just too cheap (hard to beleive, i know) currently to force a infrastructure change-over.
Bush, or any other president, has little to do with gas prices. Crude is a global commodity, it will bear whatever price people are willing to pay. And apparently the Chinese and India are willing to pay. the weak dollar just makes it worse.
I would stop selling the saudi's jets until they bump up production though :moon:
Wow that was long,

this is where i think you're wrong, or at where I misspoke previously. Bush’s Administration does have a lot on influence on prices…here’s why. oil prices globally soar when there's instability in the middle east. why is there currently instability in the middle east?? glad you asked....the answer is the current war we are waging. war = instability... instability = huge jump in oil prices. think back to 9-11. how long were the lines at the pumps????
