 My complaint is//// if this country really needs to find a method of buying less oil from abroad why not raise the legal driving age to 18 years old. ust think of how gas would be saved if we did not have these reckless kids of today racing around with their loud mufflers and boom boxes.besides all of the accidents these kids cause. *ak
