Gaslight
The Ford Motor Company has great insight. They installed in all their models a tiny reminder to impeach Cheney.
Its the gaslight. Its the little orange light that comes one when you tank is getting low. It tells you that you have 2.1 gallons left in your tank.
With mine there is a little beep. ONCE. when it first comes on, thats the "please zero your odometer" button so you will know when you have driven 21 miles past the light and you are about to be pushing this car to the side of the road.
My car gets 29 miles to the gallon straight up. All things being linear I could actually go 58 miles on my gas light. I have only gone 21 by myself.
In Tim's car, he has gone to 32 miles passed the light, but was noticea
bly shaky when he stopped to refuel. He drives the more spirited ZX3 version, but gets 33 miles to gallon if he doesnt use his Nascar moves.
Kristopher drives the ZX5, manual transmission, he didnt get the light- he has to use the old fashioned gauge and suggests you dont drive passed the redline, before he has to back down the hill to the babysitters so she can bring him a gas can.
Tamara and Elizabeth drive Dodge Neons. Their cars share a much friendlier approach to the gas light. First they beep when the light comes on, and the girls report they can continue about 20 more miles but neither woman has zeroed their odometers, ( they just guess) then, little light beeps twice when they start the car, meaning and they interpret that to say--"Ladies, you should probably get some gas today if you are planning on going very far." And finally the step that both girls have reached is -- A continual beep which must be quite a motivator because both girls IMMMEDIATELY proceed to the station. ****** Please note, neither one has ever Run completely out of gas and required rescue.
You think that I would want to impeach Cheney because I ran out of gas.
YOU WOULD BE RIGHT.
Hebbert's lives have been submerged in the oil and gas industry. We have built our little empire upon this dangerous business. So consider this INSIDER information.
When ONE barrel of oil is sold for every dollar above $37.00, this oil company profits. So if its "down" to 52.00 a barrel, CEO's like this have compounded their money 15 times, a day.
Now I know that seems like an impossible number--------its huge.
And you say"but it costs a lot to run an oil company." I truly disagree, because I know its quite cheap to cook it, clean it, package it and ship it. Oh yeah, it cost a bit in death case liabilities, and EPA fines but really those costs are low compared to what it would cost to make refineries safe and create clean water and air around them. --Now thats good business.
Good business, is when your customer benefits so much that they continually buy your product, without intimidation. I refer to the Hurricane Katrina gas shortage, the Exxon gas line leakage, and the need for exploration off of our beautiful eastern coastline. Keeping us in fear will create a buyer that needs a product but doesnt know why. I think there is an animal like that--Sheep.
I think he should be impeached because Gas should be 35cents a gallon. There is no shortage, there wont be a shortage either. Everyone could afford to go to work, to travel and to transport food to impoverished nations. Perhaps we could solve the hunger problems in Africa, India and Costa Rica. With that kind of profit I am sure we could end the greenhouse gas fears, we could humans taking care of each other and our planet and perhaps my greatest dream, prescriptions would only cost 10$ no matter what it is and what disease its curing.
