ethanol please

ethanol produces more harmful waste being produced, and while slightly cheaper, you need fuel injection to use it pretty much. the crap gums up carbs.

anyway, shell/mobil just posted their second highest profits (again) with oil at over $70/barrell.
It's getting the attention of both consumers and the government now.

Yea and its doubtful that their profit margins are even correct... I would assume that there has been a little tweaking of a couple Billion dollars to make it look like they are not profiting as much. Who see's another Enron scandal coming? I do!!

Not to mention ethanol will absorb any water that happens to condense in the tank. And it gets approx 10 - 15% less in fuel economy. And who's to stop the farmers from curbing the corn supply. Heaven forbid if we get a bad drought.

gas rose about 10 cents over the past couple of days at some places here. i always fill up after the flipping price hikes.

Gas has been right at 3.05 for mid grade for the past couple weeks. I'm not going anywhere for a couple days, but I just have a feeling when I fill up on Saturday it's going to be 3.20 or so. grrr
