How much did you pay for gas today?

did you pay with your ATM card?

 

We've broken the $4 mark ... $4.03 is the cheapest you'll find now.

Actually, I'm kind of surprised it took this long. The west side had $4 gas at least a couple weeks ago.

 

it's between $3.77 and $3.89 in my new burg. after the prices i saw in california, i am sadly ok with all of that.

 

It was $3.83.9 at my fuel stop today. We're using some of the stimulus money to go to DC and thank our gubdment personally this weekend, so I'm wondering how much it will rise between today and when I fill up sometime on the way back Sunday.

 

CNN is showing a tanker truck overturned outside Memphis. More than 8,000 gallons of gasoline spilled out.

Given the way gas prices work, that should result in a 3-cent rise by 5 p.m.

 

Even though those 8,000 gallons would only fill up around 530 cars, based on an empty 15-gallon tank.

 

Inky, did they show people sucking it up with straws?
You know, if I was somebody important and not some newspaper idiot, I'd have a big press conference and announce that I was sponsoring a prize.
First person to come up with a sustainable product that could replace gasoline gets a billion dollars and that's if you do it in 10 years.
Do it in one year and you get ten billion dollars.
I mean if the Nazis can manufacture a fake gasoline during WWII, why can't we?

 

The Nazis had a certain method of dealing with those pesky environmentalists that we don't.
Also, turning coal into gasoline isn't a very efficient process. You end up using more energy than you get out of it. It'll do in a pinch -- like the Germans were in after losing the oil fields in North Africa and Eastern Europe -- but it's not the most desirable method.

 

Is that the same as shale oil?

 

There is a $10M automotive X-Prize available ...
