Here we go again..fuel price (we want to know)

I'll tell you what I think we need to do.
1. Drill in ANWR. The caribou won't care.
2. Drill more off shore wells.
3. Build more refineries.
4. Make Iraq pay us back all war costs in free oil.
5. Build more nuclear power plants. (Even the French have figured this one out)

Works for me too.

No further comment on the subject of gas prices as it is clearly political /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The way gas prices are going /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif......I certainly can understand the stress test.

hmm......

 .....Oil prices fell close to $2 a barrel on Friday as Europe and Canada prepared to tap one million barrels a day of gasoline from emergency stockpiles to relieve an energy crisis threatening the United States.

....Spain expects to receive a formal request on Friday to release gasoline stocks to the United States, and it is prepared to grant it, an Industry Ministry spokesman said.

Some folks complain about all the gas prices being the same....price fixing....some complain when they are about 10% different....go figure.

( I thought I read a recent study that found ethenol takes more energy to produce than it produces... ie, it takes 1.X amounts of energy to produce 1 amount of ethenol. Anyone else read that or have better information? )

According to this study published in Science Daily, corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced,
switch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and wood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

In terms of energy output compared with the energy input for biodiesel production, the study found that soybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and sunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

He had to pay $150 to ride the bus for the year
Now this year, he has his drivers license and drives his little S-10 pickup to school. *He had to pay $150 for the parking permit to park in the school parking lot.
 xxxxxxx XXXXXX xxxxxxxxx
*He paid the bus fare and now the school is charging him 150 for providing and maintaining the buss for them.
Did he get any of the buss fare back when he started driving to school?
If he didn't, nothing like charging for 2 services and only providing 1!

There is no monopoly on gasoline. I hate the prices as much as anybody and think those who take advantage are sorry.

However, its very risky and expensive to explore and produce petroleum. If you think its an easy gold mine, its perfectly legal to invest in your own oil well so that you can share in the windfall.

Its costs upwards of 1$ million plus to drill one well, and there is a very good chance you get exactly zero for your money. You can get a share for as little as $20K, and you can deduct all of that up front, even if it turns out to be productive.
