I wonder what LPG is going to cost this winter, or natural gas. They all
come from the same source--CO2 in the primal atmosphere. It seems to me, we
better get busy putting that CO2 back, so plants can convert it into more
petroleum. My wife says it took $29 to fill up the Honda Civic. I guess I
don't have to worry too much about her driving my Jeep, my Suburban, or even
her Land Cruiser before I get back. A curse from the Dune series, "May you
live in interesting times".

They have something over here called a "smart car". It is just big enough
to fit two people, sitting up, and I don't know where they put the engine or
the fuel tank. I'll bet, if you stepped on the brakes real hard, you would
roll end over end a few times. I have seen cars like this with Mexican
plates in Silverton, but not quite so small. Even the motor homes are of
reasonable size here. I am not going to miss them in Silverton next summer,
but I know a few gift shop owners who are going to be hurting for seasonal
help. Or maybe the snow birds will have to stay, if they can't afford the
gas to get back to Phoenix.

OK, for you chemists out there, if any--What is it going to take, to convert
methane or ethanol, to 2,2,4 trimethyl pentane? Enormous pressure, heat,
genetically modified bacteria, what?

Hi Earl,
I think we'll be see the poor freeze to death, this winter. That's
part of the reason we're seeing low supplies and high gasoline prices as
the refineries have switched as usual to producing more heating oil.
Just like there are no more summer cloths in the stores for sale.

You make a good point Bill, the 4% pay raises that the wokers received this
year in MD have been wiped out by the high fuel costs and in many cases puts
them behind. It is always the poor who end up getting the short end of the
stick.
