Time to make a car the runs on Vitamin Water

That's right, pretty soon oil will be more expensive than Vitamin Water (VitWater to the cool kids, but I am not cool... obviously), and much less delicious (unless you like unrefined petroleum.. maybe you do? I'm not one to judge). Oil futures hit $86 a barrel today inching closer and closer to the early 1980s price of $101 (adjusted for inflation- duh) sending the world into a frenzy! No wait it didn't really. But people are still whining. I'm all for higher oil prices, but I think the money should be in taxes from the government (boo taxes?), not in profits from Exxon-Mobil (who continually post records every quarter).

I can complain and complain about gas being higher but truth is Americans can afford it. Just buy less crap. Less toys, less dvds, less clothes you only wear once. We all over-consume to the point of nausea. I am no better but the first step is realization. However, I refuse to give up Vitamin Water as I need to get my potassium in (I hate bananas) and relish (and ketchup) the fact that 10% of the company is owned by rapper (is there another kind of) 50-cent.
