Have you checked the price of oil lately? The world demand, especially India and China (who have no real oil) is increasing astronomically. It is only going to get worse, especially fi the tree huggers have their way here.

Because if they get the shit, then every islamic terrorist and anybody else with money will be able to get one. These people do not think like us, martyrdom is assurance of heaven. Beside its not just us, this time it is Europe too. I'll bet the Russians will also support the anti Iranian Nuke effort to, because of their border with chetchnia (however you spell it) which is Islamic too.

| There was some guy here at one of the home building/remodleing shows that had some sorta magnetic thing that you put on your pipes to keep your hot water heater (shouldn't that be cold water heater?) from liming up. He claimed it was also supposed tio realy increase your gas mileage if ya put one on your gas line. I sure wasn't going to put the $79 or what ever it waz to find out.

I will find out alot more about this product tomorrow nite at a meeting . I'm skeptical too like Empty said. Lol, We've all been told about the network schemes and how to get rich quick, yeah right. My friend told me this. He tried a tablet or two of this stuff in his Screamin Eagle on the way back to Youngstown Ohio Sunday said his bike ran like a scallded dog. And used half a tank less fuel than before. He also mentioned that the oil companies do want this stuff, and I don't know the rest of the story yet?
Supposed to be good for your motor. Now at this point thats just hear say. Will have more on this product after tomorrow nite. May be too good to be true? Thats usually my experience. LOL My friends ol already got back her money though and if this stuff is as good as what I hear everyone should want some. We all use alot of Gas for sure.

He swears they work you place 2 tablets per 8 gallons of gas. Do that twice and then just 1 tablet per 8 gal. thereafter. Supposed to get ya at least 25% better gas mileage and it also cleans out the complete fuel system. They say only negatives are may have to change fuel filters after using.... I have only ran 1 tablet in my Jeep so far. Theres a meeting here locally tomorrow night on the product. Will gather more info about it. Worth checking out in my opinion.
Question here is....what does it do to your engine in a few years? Ppl have come up with ideas like these b4, and the oil companies seem to squash them right quick!
ETHANOL.....people ......ETHANOL!! Support your local farmers!! CORN BURNERS!!

I know it seems wierd, but the profit dollars really don't mean much to the company or the stock holders, what does is the profit margin, the percentage of profit that come out of the these revenue dollars - the formula is (revenue - expenses)/ revenue). These oil companies with billions in gross profit are really only making less than 9% because their overhead is so high, costs and R&D. No, the exorbanant salaries paid to their execs really don't have that big of an impact.
Their profit margins are actually down from several years ago when prices were lower. You know who makes several times the money that the oil companies do? The fucking government does thru taxes. I think I read where the taxes are five times as much as the profit for the oil companies.
I am not sticking up for them, but I think certain politicans, for the sake of votes, do not really tell us the whole story.
