The oil companies will never let them raise the prices here as long as the oil companies keep getting subsidised by the government...esp. to the tune of such fiascos as Enron.

Gypsy, I knew that, I think!*bg* CRS strikes! Anyhow, glad to hear it. Remember you can't go wrong with a Subaru. We put well over 250,000 on our first one, which we hauled water with for several years, through all kinds of blizzards, etc. The other two, one was a ranch car I bought used...it was ahrd used and went over 200,000; The last one sits at our daughter's, still running fine and just ready to hit 200,000.

The Plymouth minivan I bought last fall has now gone over 100,00 and is running very well. We are really pleased with it and I din't think I'd ever say that about anything that wasn't a Subaru or Ford!*bg*
