Here's a comic I found today:

Attachment 806

Yeah, employers can only pay you what their profits allow. Companies with a monopoly on energy can charge whatever they want. An employee is merely a pawn.

Peakster, I think it'd be cool if we could post mp$ average on our signatures via the gassavers.org image.

That would be neat, if only gasoline prices were the same all over the continent.

[88HF]

no, if it used your average fuel price and average mpg.

For the big picture I think you would need to look at all costs. Price of car, maintenance, insurance, license's, all would be factors.

[88HF]

well figure it out and suggest it mentalic. What area are you from in LA? Really adding all those extra costs into the calculation would be a little difficult to figure. Maybe if you called in fd$ (fuel/distance/$). Showing how much you spend to travel said distance. If you include the cost of the vehicle and such then driving more would indicate a lower mp$ which isn't exactly promoting FE.

Oh I see what you mean. That would be neat.
