Finess - the US have no concept of global warming or fuel reserves. My father in law is English having emigrated some 14 years ago & has American wife. They have just bought a 3rd car "for the weekends" which he says is economical being as its only a V8 convertable & just to make sure he is doing his bit as an american to get rid of oil a fast as they can, he now wants to buy a motor boat as he retires next year & so will ave time to mess around on it.
I guess share is up today on back of China sayng economy is 17% bigger than estimated and growing faster so obvioulsly will need more fuel. This of course knocks the Uk down a place and evercloser to attaining status as a 3rd world underdeveloped nation - well, what do they expect, we don't produce anything here anymore!
