This will teach me to write a newsletter when I am in a hurry, and without checking the facts  - though in my defense, I still think it is valid and useful information!!

Many people wrote in to keep me honest, telling me that snopes.com refutes the info, and this was my reply:

Keeping me honest, I see! 

 

The link to where to buy gas was written some time ago, and speaks of funding bin Laden:  I am more concerned about the Saudi Royal family:  if they were in truth our allies, they would feel our pain and influence OPEC to lighten up, don't you think? As it is, they DO support schools, or madrassas, that teach fundamentalist Islam and are the breeding grounds for future terrorists - so I do not wish to send them any more of my money than I have to.

 

It ends by saying that they have not found any gas at $3.00 a gallon - well, if only it were still that low! 

 

 As for the link about pumping the gas: basically, my interpretation of what they say is that all the facts are true, but the gain is slight- I am all for being as efficient as possible at all times!  Even the big truckers are slowing down, though all they gain is 1 mile per gallon!  A million minimals adds up to something - remember the Eddie Murphy movie, where he had the Bank computer redirect all the fractions of dollars that resulted from every day transactions, and ended up rich? As for who wrote it - somewhat irrelevant, if it is useful information.

 

Thanks for being in touch. Yours for cars that run on air,
