    Hai, Hastings!
    I'm not saying it's why the gas prices are higher, but it is why it's not as economically devastating to the population at large. Most Europeans I talk to use public transport since the gas prices are so high. If gas rose in the US to match European prices, I wouldn't have that option. It simply doesn't exist.

    The dealership near my house had a Ram SRT for while. Some of Rams from the 90's had non viper v10's but they weren't super common. I think Ford offered Triton v10's for their 3/4 and 1 ton trucks for a while.

Still, I do a lot better than the EPA numbers since they say my V6 Charger gets 18 city, 21 combined, and 27 highway. I average about 24-25 combined because my highway mpg is so good, and my primary driving is highway.

    Like I said, I know lots of other cars get better, but I think 30 mpg is pretty respectable considering the size and weight of my car.
    Mopar vehicles always seem to get better gas mileage than the EPA numbers which I think is awesome. My truck also has great fuel efficiency considering it's size, weight, and engine.

    My fish is so dumb.

    I come near his tank and he swims towards me and makes eating motions and is overall obnoxious because he wants me to feed him. I feed him, and he's too busy complaining at me that I haven't fed him that he doesn't notice that I've fed him.

    Grr...

    I once had fish. Then I put them in a pot while I cleaned their tank. I forgot to put them back in the tank and they asphyxiated in the water once it ran out of oxygen.
