This Is BS!! (OIL)

to the guy commenting on .05-.08 in tax law's if they were taken away, acidic is more on the right level it's avg. around .38 per gallon i think. on the e85 theory, won't ever happen in a HUGE result. the best way to get oil price's to either become stable again or drop is a even or more so even divide. i just finished my econ class today and got a good grade on my final so i'm happy but my teacher liked my theory.
say the US just the US for example have 300 million people, figure 40% drive (just a guess) so that means in the US there are 140 million cars, give or take. Now, lets say of consumer driver's 75% are regular gas engine cars, 18% are hybrid, and the remaining 7% are e85. If you simply reduce all gas engine cars to e85 we as a country would have to have 10 times the acerage of corn we have now so that's not really realistic(that's a real # not my theory lol). now let's say in theory you take that 75% of gas engine cars down to even say 45% reducing it by 30%, thein increase your e85 by say 12% taking it to 19% e85, and then 36% hybrid. You'd not only maintain a solid petrolium source for 2 to 3 times longer but, on imagine the cost change in gas prices. Suply might not change but with that many more fuel efficient/alternate fuel source vehicle's, you'd reduce cost of gas enough to enjoy life more.

sorry if that's hard to read, it's 2am and i'm tired lol.

oh on gas price's, filled up today at 2.39 a gallon i feel special.

that seems like good logic... however we'd need to source the e85 and the financial benefit of the hybrids would go mostly to the conventional gasoline cars who would enjoy the same lower prices but not be stuck with the added maintnence cost of the hybrid drivetrain... also that avg tax I believe is only the federal tax but I may be wrong

I'm paying 3.09/gallon here

ohh and econmically smart guys with hot plus size women FTW!

according to a few magazine's i've read we can support i think a 25% gain in e85 car's without a major change in farming of corn. basically it means we have the room for it just gotta use it. on the women i agree, still trying to convince the lady to gimme that pic of her in the hip huggers lol.

I've got one more to share but I'll need to ask... and that is good news on the e85... I'd like to see it happen... something to lower prices.. have you heard about the saab felx fuel 9-5? It actually makes MORE power with e85 because it can raise the boost since ethonal is more stable that gasoline

hadn't heard about it no. i'm just amazed at just how many cars can run on e85 that most people don't know about.

I think everyone needs to sell their car and buy a bike... with peddles!

Regular is $2.98 a gallon.... Super or Premium is $3+ depending on station.

Driving around a Chevy Avalanche with an LS1 small block in a truck that weighs about 6,000lbs with these gas prices are fun. To top it all off my wife has a Passat 4motion that requires premium gasoline so not much relief there.

Most of the new GM line of trucks and SUV's are E85 compliant, 85% ethanynol and 15% gasoline. The problem at this point is locating a source for the everday consumer on a nationwide level, NJ has about '0' E85 stations available to the public with most being privately owned or military base installations.

I'm all for conservation and hopefully the E85 craze will catch fire, albeit from what I hear you get a worse mpg rating with E85, the improvements on the quality of life and the environment would be justifyable in my opinion.

Because they were probably still selling gasoline that they purchased at less than $60/barrel 4 weeks ago ...

show me the last time crude oil was below 60 a barrel bubba.
