eliott...2.99 really isn't that bad...I'm paying 3.15 and I think that's cheap compared to the rest of the country. Look at Cali..they're going to hit 4 bucks this summer..ouch.

Elliott...I was driving (and putting like 5 bucks in my tank) when I was sixteen and I remember when it was that low too. My dad takes premium for the Lincoln (mark VIII) and that is actually cheaper to fill up. If I fill up my Jeep completely (which I haven't done in 929 miles) then it's about 65..barb 80 is just INSANE...can't you do half fills.

I think John was curious how much it would be to fill it! He said he was a bit above a quarter of a tank, too! I think he needs a smaller vehicle.

Hydrogen isn't going to happen. It takes electric to make it. In order to make electric cleanly and cheaply, we need nukes. They are a different kind of scary but I think they're our only option. Then we can extract hydrogen from water. But with the terrible droughts everywhere....
hmmmmm......
Ethanol uses our food......
Yeah, ok......
Jay Leno said that he saw demonstration models of hybrid cars that have a small diesel engine. They got over 100 mpg. That is a short time fix though.
There needs to be a break in some kind of new technology in order to solve this issue. I wonder if OPEC isn't raising the price because maybe, just maybe, they know that the oil is going to run out sooner rather than later so they are raking in as much money as they can now. Although, if the world ran out of oil, money wouldn't matter much anymore, now would it.
Who knows.... All I know is there isn't a darn thing that I can do about it except to severely limit my driving to the bare minimum. By slowing down and using cruise control (yeah, I was shocked that I could use cruise control around here but if you're one of the slower cars on the road...) I was able to get my car up to 34 mpg (BMW 530I). That helps. I'm getting about 4 more miles per gallon now, then when I was in a hurry.
