I would have thought that they would have been in some type of communication with the oil companies and attempted to avert or slow down the price increase. (That's just my conspiracy hat...) That only leads me to believe that either speculators or OPEC are controlling the cost of oil now.

Heard that Hummer and Saab were going to be let go, maybe more. I've already seen where Chevy is not sponsoring several NASCAR races next year. Rick Wagoner is supposed to deliver an announcement tomorrow morning at 0830 EST. Should be worth listening to. This post has been edited by Rob Hood: Jul 15 2008, 05:59 AM
