Gas Mileage Drop After Price Increase

Is it me, or have anyone of you who drive as much as 100 miles a day noticed a drop in the gas mileage your vehicle is supposed to have?
I have some mechanic, knuckle scraping, wrench turning experience. My vehicle is maintained pretty good. So I Know that the mileage drop I am experiencing-not my vehicle.
Only since the Price Hike, has the drop been noticeable. Only with regular gas, which most of us can afford. After filling up with supper, a couple of times, things were back to normal- for the most part.
I noticed after using super gas, the less stops to refill.
Think about it. $4 a gallon, less miles per gallon, more refills.
Spend more for supper gas- and less refills. This a trick I have seen Casino Operators pull on the general public. You think you are paying for a good product, according to your life style, and or budget. If you spend more for a better product, most of the time you see a difference. It's all about the psychology of marketing.
Supper gas is not a very popular product. Games have to be played to in crease sales.
I have also noticed more engine knock (clatter) using regular gas after the Price Hike.
I have also been in the retail side of this for a long time as a young one. The 1970's gas shortages were such a joke. Lines down the street, around the corner. Causing tempers to flare. License Plate odd- even numbers determined who could buy, on what day. And what did the store managers want their employees to do? Push belt and hoses sales, and tires.
Don't these products require oil?
Plastic and other by products use more of a barrel of oil than does fuel-gasoline.
And then the biggest scam of all. Make vehicles lighter. Get rid of the big land yacht, trade for a vehicle made with less metal. Replace any part of the vehicle with what?
You should have guessed it. PLASTIC!!!!!
The biggest Scam of the century. Use more oil for plastic to make vehicles lighter, so less gas would be used. Gas mileage did not increase-vehicles were made lighter. More oil was being consumed. Just what the Government wanted- NOT THE OIL COMPANIES!!!! All thought you heard no complaints from them. More oil sales related products-- MORE TAXES COLLECTED!!!! Like I said before- the biggest SCAM in the 20TH Century.
IT'S BACK. BACK in the 21ST Century.

Sites You Might Like > Portable Apps

I would like to tell about the portable apps site. This is good for every one. How would you like to surf the web on any computer, and not leave any traces where you've been? Perfect for a trip to the library, or your own laptop sitting at a coffee shop using their wi-fi. That's right up there with safe surfing. Using a USB thumb drive, flash drive, or micro card.
There are options: download and install portable apps suite. An assortment of preselected apps, which is a good selection. Download and install the basics, then pick and choose just the apps you like. Either choice gives you a browser, anti-virus, note pad, even open office, and more than I want to get into here.
Best of all They Are Free!
You need to buy a good 4gb drive or card, and download your hearts content. When you use this gadget , just plug it in, select that drive and surf. When you are through, shut it down as instructions for the drive explains, remove the drive-all your history is in your hand, not on the computer! Now, you won't fool the Feds! But any nosy busy bodies will not have a clue where you've been.
There is a risk of being on wi-fi no doubt. That goes without saying anything to a seasoned surfer who knows about risk over wi-fi.
