Gas Prices: Who's to Blame?

All I have done is repost facts and numbers long ago published by others that everyone should know. Nothing new is posted. However it does contradict popular myths. Well, is that not what I do often? See those posts about Saddam's WMDs and reasons for "Mission Accomplished" back in 2003? Who got it right by ignoring popular myths; by instead grasping for facts and numbers? Simply doing same here no matter how unpopular reality may be.

The question is about high gas prices. GM is clearly culpable. Numbers (so often ignored by the local gossip and Fox New propaganda) are posted here. Even Sycamore demonstrates the problem. He posts EPA mileage numbers for equivalent competitive cars - Honda Accord and Chevy Lumina. Even those numbers demonstrate what every one should have known even back then. All I am doing is bluntly attacking popular myths. GM is clearly a major contributor to increasing gas prices with poor products that are also gas hogs and are not exportable.

Why has GMs stock value dropped to 1955 levels? The entire product line is that crappy. And just like throughout the entire 1970s, GM repeatedly stifled innovation while running to government for protection. Want to see GM's problems today. Deja vue. Read DeLorean's book "On a Clear Day You Can See GM".
