tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,600 Points:2,373,210 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Apr 30, 2012 10:39:40 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse 2013 Ford Shelby GT500? NOT your typical vehicle to go to work or to run errands with! IF you can afford this vehicle: high gas prices, using much more fuel, much higher vehicle insurance or speed limits are not a concern. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible! The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!

bigoilscamsus Champion Author Lansing Posts:1,058 Points:48,265 Joined:Nov 2011	Message Posted: Apr 30, 2012 10:32:19 AM Ignore bigoilscamsus Report Abuse ExxonMobil reported its first quarter earnings for 2012!! The poor babies only made a profit of 9.45 Billion dollars and a gross income of 124.1 billion dollars from the American consumer!! They are claiming an 8.8% profit!! Our countries economy is in recession and these fat cats are crying that their profits didn't meet their goals!! Well then they will just have to raise the price of gasoline during the 2nd quarter so that their profits will meet expenses!!!!HaHa!!----- Five years ago they reported that their business model called for a 20% return on their investment!! It is either money laundering or a Swiss bank account that has taken up the additional dollars!!-------If our Congress doesn't act soon, our country will be heading to a DEPRESSION!! We need $2.50 cent gas and a 5 billion dollar profits per quarter for ExxonMobil, they should be able to survive on that!!!
