  High gas prices finally changing North American vehicle attitudes

  when i read that the ford f-150 is the best selling vehicle in america i wrongly assumed that it was just the best selling truck.

  but no, it has been the best selling vehicle for the last 17 years!

  if that is the best selling you can be sure that there are plenty of similar models from different manufacturers being bought as well.. they are huge, fuel-inefficient things and i seriously doubt that even 90% of the people who buy them really need them.

  Simon,

  I know what you mean - you would be suprised to see how much those guys make on they're truck allowances. They don't pay for a thing, although after about five years they're trucks are basically worn out. I just destroy our company pickup, not my own on those roads.

  The back roads in Alberta are very vast - there is oil and gas everywhere.

  For all you PETROL & GAS whiners. Stop complaining that it's too expensive!

  here in the uk we're paying over a 1 a litre for regular unleaded fuel, that's about $9 per gallon for my american friends.

  now i'm as aware as anyone that the bulk of my fuel pound goes to the government in duty (or fuel tax) but let's just look at the bottom line cost to you and i as motorists - 1/litre.. just getting the the damn stuff out of the ground is dangerous and expensive, especially at offshore rigs.

  then you have to transport it, refine it and transport it again.

  Well well well..

  I guess the way to a ten page thread now is just mention gas or oil, LOL.

  Homosexual threads are dead now....

  A place like Calgary, you can get away with taking transit downtown quite easily. I've met many friends at various transit stations for our endeavors to the mountains -

  Many don't even own a car. They rent when they have to, and walk. I am rather envious.

  Speaking of fading...

  i just read another posting about a fella fading, and it brought to mind the following.. on the weekends, i go to a local coffee shop in the am for coffee and a little breakfast taco.

  i usually sit at the counter, where i also read my electronics-related magazines and i also write thoughts in a gridded-paper notebook.

  i immediately pegged them as jws - it was too easy.

  People are leaving the dubs like mad.

  You can spot dubs instantly. I saw three young teenagers yesterday all in suits - not hard to tell, LOL.

  It will be interesting to see if they keep fading.

  Simon,

  You're right where people don't want to buy those gas-guzzlers anymore. Where we live here, there is a lot of crew cabs for work - probably more than anywhere with the boom, so you probably won't see those trucks going anywhere soon. Out east, there are lots of plant closures in the auto industry because of this.

  I am fortunate and have a company truck and for holidays I use a 4 cylinder vehicle to boot me to the mountains - cheap on fuel! My next vehicle will be a sedan for sure, and as energy efficient as possible.

  This is a huge wake-up for people, and although it's painful, I hope that it brings some long-term good effects. Gas prices will go down - but when? I'm thinking not for quite some time, until things play catchup.

  Faders: When You Left, did Anyone Give a Damn?

  it seems funny to hear how some get love bombed, others get left alone when they fade.

  i moved and told nobody - by the time they figured i was 'weak', it was too late - i was gone.

  so honestly, what was it like for you when you left the 'organization'?

  I made my decision on day at a CA. Just got up in the middle of the session and walked out. Greatest feeling ever. I remember it was a beautiful sunny day and I smiled all the way to the car.

  I walked out of quite a few meetings like that. A person can sometimes just take so much, then that's enough... thanks for sharing!

  Isn't it amazing that these people preach like mad in the field circus, yet they're own sheep leave and they just don't kick up a fuss with most? I guess it's because they can't count time? Or is it because they're secretly envious that you can leave and they have to stay?

  Did/Does God answer your prayers?

  in my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.

  i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.

  terrible i know.

  100% not.

  I did everything I could, and it was never enough. I may as well have been worshipping a rodent. When's easter again???

  Learningmore,

  You're lucky! We're kind of had the same experience - no phone calls, nothing. I know for myself it was quite shocking being suddenly gone - but as another poster just said, it felt liberating.

  I'd like to hear if anyone got love bombed like mad.
