RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Field mechanic in Vietnam

Fuel Exploring!

RE: 4.00 per gallon
My theory behind all this is the fact that "The powers to be", wether political or Commercial Oil Cos. , the price of oil and gas abroad has always been higher than the good oll USof A. Now for a country of welth like USA, to be purchasing gas and oil less than our neighbors...
