The F-150 dominates its class, but the rest -meh! By 2016, 80 percent of Ford’s planned 8 million vehicles will be based on the five global platforms, and each one stamped out of plastic and assembled by a group of trainees with special needs.

bigoilscamsus Champion Author Lansing Posts:1,058 Points:48,265 Joined:Nov 2011	Message Posted: Jul 16, 2012 12:19:31 PM Ignore bigoilscamsus Report Abuse In the Detroit market according to GasBuddy. com-- BP is selling gas for $3.99.9 and Citgo is selling gas for $3.22.9!! A 77 cent difference is criminal and should be investigated by the State Attorney General!! Where are the consumer protection agents when you need them!! What we have is highway robbery by the gas companies in our State!! In the Lansing market , we have most stations close to the $3.59.9 fixed price of July 12th!! in St. Johns , 15 miles North of town Speedway and Admiral are selling gas for $3.22.9!! The high priced stations are gouging the public and still no help for the American consumer! It make me mad as hell when I have to pay 20 or 30 cents more per gallon t o fill up my 2006 truck!! Congress needs to hear the cry of the people and put price and profit controls on all petroleum products!! The entire petroleum industry needs to be Nationalized for the good of our country!
