[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kosh: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] I'm not sure about this, so feel free to correct me, but wouldn't it take about 10 years to see the results of off-shore drilling? Also, aren't there several areas of the US where the oil companies have claimed there land and then proceeded to do nothing, preferring to wait until they'll get (even) more money for it? And wouldn't the amount of oil generated in ten years time be less than 1% of the world's output? I can't see that having much of a difference. According to some web-sites I just looked up, the average mpg for US cars is 24.7, while it's about 32 mpg for UK cars. I'd be curious to know if everyone knew what mpg their car got. [/qb][/QUOTE]My Accent gets 31mpg, 32 with the wind behind me. Off shore wouldn't be available for 10 years, plus there is only about two years worth of oil at just the USA rate of consumption. McCain voted some time ago that if we drill, the oil should be on the open market, so after 10 years of waiting and billions spent to get the oil, it'd last about a week. [/QB][/QUOTE]
