I new a guy from somewhere around Newark who tapped his natural gas well in his backyard and used it to fuel his pickup truck. If you dig deep enough you might just hit a gas pocket or drill the backyard of some poor guy in China. Either way it would be cheaper than Toledo's 3.45 per gallon.

One day this guy is jumping out of a plane for fun. The parachutist falls to the proper height and pulls the cord for his main chute. Nothing happens. Quickly he pulls the cord for his reserve chute. Again nothing happens. He looks down and sees a guy coming up at him from the house to his left. As the guy passes him he asks "hey do you know anything about parachutes?" The man replies: "No. Do you know anything about natural gas water heaters?" ok bad joke, but if your friend isn't pulling your leg, what he did could get exciting really quickly.... |

Many stations are still under $3... but the ironic thing is.. that's for regular... and these Jersey snobs have those primo cars that have to have the primo gas.. so $3.40+ for the hob-knobbers...
BTW this is full service pricing... you are NOT allowed to pump your own gas in Jersey... Bus Native talks about CA pricing... and it makes me wonder how high it is in this one area of LA about 15 minutes from LAX that was always $1.50 higher than anything I saw here in Jersey |

word is that the mob convinced our legislature that this would preserve jobs... and then they used safety as a backup strategy... they brought stats about fuel station accidents and films of explosions when folks just took off with the hose still in their car

Not as bad as you think. My wife works in the trucking industry, they are taking a hit because now it is actually cheaper to send your shipments by rail and many companies are switching over for their shipment needs.

From the story above.

Seriously, being in the engineering business, we have been designing ethanol plants for many oil companies and others. The buzz right now is these facilities may be put on hold and those that are built may not be able to produce ethanol cheap enough because corn prices have risen too much. This may even force some of the plants to go out of business. So just like a barrel of oil over $100 and gas approaches $4 to 5 per gallon, a bushel of corn goes to the moon and ethanol production is no longer economically feasible. Is corn the only renewable resource? I don't think so. Saw grass is better, and quite possibly a country with so much can figure out a way to make this work. End the dependancy on fossil fuels and watch the price of gasoline come back down. Catch 22? Last edited by utgrad73; 03-25-2008 at 06:51 PM. |
