Quote: Just remember, a lot of your electricity is produce from coal! Rozzie I like your thinking. We turn our heat down to 60 at 8PM. Just put 2 down comforters, 2 polyester comforters and a quilt on the bed. Nice and toasty. Heater comes back on at 5am set at 65. we saved about 30% on...

Quote: Technically they had a filibuster proof Senate. In reality they didn't. Like Joe said. The Blue Dog dems voted Republican in most cases. They didn't really have a right to occupy the seats they were in anyway. The only reason they got elected was outrage at Bush. In addition to that the...

Quote: For the worse, most likely. They couldn't do anything about the gas situation even if they wanted to. Most likely they will use it as an excuse to start stripping the countryside for the meager amount of oil that is still available here. Then cut any programs that are intended to help...

Quote: They just renewed those subsidies with a democrat house and senate. Repubs could not even stop it if they wanted to. Did they bury that in the tax bill they just passed? I haven't heard that one. I know the pubs made quite a few concessions to keep the tax cuts for the top 2% in place.

Quote: I agree that actual ethanol fuel is a waste. Too much energy is used to produce it and it does lower mlg about 10% and provides less power. The 10% stuff is ok though. Messes up my 2 cycle engines though. Doesn't burn properly when mixed with oil. Ethanol does hurt fuel lines that...

Quote: Well it does get kind of boring looking at the beautiful ocean. A couple hundred oil rigs up and down the coast would add some character to it. Maybe up around Big Sur or Morro Bay. It would help keep the cost of oil down. I hope whoever gets elected in 2012 isn't a shill for the oil...

Quote: I think we will see a lot more NG use in the future. I heard that Obama had a part of the stimulus slated for NG conversion for fleet trucks including semis. It was just a short story so who knows what actually happened. There are a lot of fleet vehicles that run on NG right now. I...

Quote: The Chevy Aveo is currently made in Korea. The factory is owned by the GM Daewoo division. They are going to start making them in Michigan though. Good priced car and has good mlg. I've seen a lot more on the road in the past year or two.

Quote: Yep... I paid $3.06 yesterday! My husband spent $65 on gas last week to get to some potential jobs... after doing some work, and driving around he only made $105. He had to tell the guy sorry, but we can't afford to pay him to work any longer. So sad.... If we weren't so country, I'd...

Quote: That was obvious, please read: December 26, 2010 The Finite World By PAUL KRUGMAN Oil is back above $90 a barrel. Copper and cotton have hit record highs. Wheat and corn prices are way up. Over all, world commodity prices have risen by a quarter in the past six months. So what’s the...

Quote: You guys have had expensive gas for years. I was in Germany in 81-83. I was military and we got coupons for gas. Cost was around 1.20 per gallon. The Germans paid 5.50 a gallon. As a result they had a lot of high mileage cars and a lot of people rode motorbikes and bicycles. In...

Quote: Cheapest I remember it was .18. gas stations used to have gas wars and this was at an old station that you put tokens in the pump. I was about 10. So that would've been about 42 years ago. Never paid less than .38 per gallon. It was 1.00 a gallon in 1978 during the oil embargo and never...

As I understand it. Speculators buy futures on oil and only have to put down a small percentage (around 10%). Like all commodities the more they buy, the higher the price goes. This is for oil that is on the world market. Mideast, Venezuela, Russia. The oil companies buy their oil from the same...

Supply and demand. Speculation is what causes prices to go up. It's not the oil companies. It's the speculators. Same as 3 years ago. Prices went up and the US cut consumption way down. People started conserving. Prices went down and people have gone back to their old wasteful habits. As long as...
