Exclamation Time to Conserve Fuel

Although we love to stomp on our heavily modded trucks, and spend as much time as possible in them, it's time we all got a bit conservative and take our lead shoes off.

For the good of the country, all of us gas guzzling F-150 owners should commit to driving at least 10% less if not more, and ease up on the throttle. By easing up we can save at least 10% in our mileage.

With these two efforts combined, we can do our part to stave off fuel shortages, keep prices down and help our fellow Americans in New Orleans.

It's time t do our part as they did in World War II.

God Bless America.

I got a truck to drive it, not to watch it sit in my drive way collecting dust.

Ummm, that is the essence of the American Spirit.
If you can afford it, do it!
If you can't, oh well so sad to bad.

Now I'm off to oil the chain on my bike!

That doesn't really apply here since there is a national emergency going on and a shortage of refining facilities to produce the gas you want...

But, hey, if you want to pay the incredible price of gas, then go ahead but don't complain...

I'm now riding the Bus 5 days a week. I can afford the gas but the $30 savings means an extra night out....you know, since I dont have a significant other to pay for.

i know guys that got married to have more sex, just didnt quite work out that way.

when i got my truck, gas was under $2.00 a gallon, i honestly dont know that i would by a 5.4 supercrew if i went out to buy a truck today. the truck - suv market killed the sports car market, now the gas sipper might kill the truck - suv market.

.......things change.......always do.

It'll hurt it no doubt. Conserving gas is smart, nothing wrong with it, heck I do it. I just cant handle all the whining....it is what it is so people just need to deal with it.

And we do get more sex than our single friends and don't even need to wear neoprene on our units.

Ahhh, is'nt it noce to know that selfish boneheads like you exist. It's why the decent people in the country do what they do, so idiots like you can keep on taking more.

And I do know how capitalism works, ********. You slow down the demand, and you increase the supply, which drives down the cost.

What a knucklehead!
