Gas prices are killing everybody. I hear $4.50 a gal by July 4th. What about converting a bike to run 100% ethenol? I could brew some 200 proof vodca, and maybe share some with the bike.

Paid $4.22 for my premium today before work. Riding the bike is saving me big time over my 98 full size p/u.&nbsp\\; My commute, unfortunately is 85 miles round trip, so it is costing me about $7 bucks a day to ride the bike.&nbsp\\; But that $35 won't even put a dent in filling the truck.&nbsp\\; Lucky for me I can get about 52 mpg on the old sportster.

I went from South Florida to Charlotte and saw premium as high as 4.70 a gal, Deisel at 5.25. I beleive this is the begining and we will never see below $4 by the Fall. I still go down to So Carolina and get plus/middle for $3.89. I went shopping at walmart today for the first time in about 6 weeks, WOW, the prices are reflecting a 30-50% increase on a lot of goods. Button down the hatches and stay home.[&:]

And all because some idiotic analist predicted that oil would hit 150.00 per barrel by July 4th...The damned speculators, (which I tend to believe are oil company personel) jump on any news about oil to drive the price thru the roof.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
A couple mionths ago, there was a pipeline spill in I believe Indiana,&nbsp\\; Gas jump 15 cents that day...how much of a spill??&nbsp\\; less than 10 gallons...something is wrong...and if it don't get fixed and soon,&nbsp\\; you will see people losing thier jobs and going on welfare cause they can't afford fuel to get to work.
