RE: Gas
None of this is new information. There was talk of increased demand for oil about five or six years ago, mainly due to CHINA's needs for more oil products.
Alcohol based fuels are renewable (a good thing), but don't deliver the MPG that an oil based fuel does (not as good a thing).
This current administration has NO CLUE about living like normal people do, there is NO energy plan in effect and when the PREZ and the VP are both from an energy industry background, this is what we have to tolerate.
I heard the other week, the former CEO of EXXON/MOBIL got a $399 million buyout when he left, PLUS his country club membership/dues paid for life and there was another expensive thing tacked on.
The rich keep getting richer, the rest of us just keep getting old.

Well actually we pay more than you do because we pay an average of $3.00 a gallon which is probably worth about 6pounds.

Then that makes the dollar worth more than the pound right, because last time I checked, $1 = like 1.65 or something like that, pounds. And lets not even get into the whole Euro thing, that's just way to confussing.
