I don't mean caps or take-overs, I mean anti-trust lawsuits. Today's oil companies are too large to provide competition. Much like Standard Oil was way back when

But then again, all those cars have "fart burners" on them. That "fart burner" ads 5-10HP to your car ;some of those small Hondas can whip a Vett off the line. (from anti-rice.com)
So 115hp+10hp=430hp, at least in ricerland
