Today in my Earth Science class, my teacher predicted the gas prices to rise 20 cents by the end of the week. Due to the hurricane news, prices rose 20 cents today alone

Currently at $3.09-$3.21

well whatever it was. i cant belive i got excited to pay 3.09/gal today but that was mid-grade

Hit $1.34/L in other parts of Canada.
Just after Katrina hit Florida I scored and bought gas at $101.4! I was so happy to get such a deal. Little did I know how good of a deal it was going to be less than 48 hours later.
I never thought I'd be happy to pay just over $1/L!

it's 81.9p per litre in my town thats about $1.63 I think...

Is that for unleaded? Sure i pay more than that for my diesel Mind you price to pay for polluting the air with my diesel fumes

Sorry to be an ass, but I've actually made money off the recent jump in oil prices over the last few days.

It'll take 25 trips to the pump before I've lost any money.

Stock market?

I've become such gas monger these last few days

"Oh hey, Rickshaw! Can I get a ride?"
"NO! "

Well not really to that extent, but I get irritated every time I have to get in the car

I was driving around for over 3 hours today. I should work out how much it cost.

ok, heres the 411 on the real situation. i learned this in class. petroleum supplies may run out by 2010 but the amount already processed and already processed but in storage can last another 500 years. At that time we will want to start looking into alternatives. But, there are already alternatives. Not shitty electric cars or hybrids which are great for European driving but are useless on American roads, but other alternatives such as Ethynol for cars. Ethynol is a chemical naturally produced by corn. Cars can run on this even at this point. Of course they would need slight engine modifications i.e every car would need a Mass Flow Sensor and the size of the fuel injection would need to be doubled. If cars started using Ethynol today, it would be a whopping .78 cents a gallon. As for Pinkbandits deisel, vehicles equipped with deisel engines can also run on refined vegtable oil with no modification! So dont worry too much it's not as bad as the media and government want you to think. Of course the oil companies dont want you to know of these alternatives because that would mean loosing crazy amounts of money!

And as for running it on refined vegetable oil? Really?

Ummm yah crazy class?

/me wonders where you would store 37500 Million barrels of oil (Thats current consumption rate of 75million barrels a year which will grow so the total amount would need to be higher).

Ford was great via 1950-1975 but nowadays they are crap. though the same goes with most cars. these manufactures have gone from excellent cars when they were actually mabe of 97% steel unibody type designs to 100% plastic bodies with unmolded frames. back in the day you could drive a 1971 ford turino through a brick house and come out the other side and the only damage to the car would be chipped paint and the house would have 2 big holes in it.

Well i don't intend on driving it througha house tbh

thats why its called off-shore drilling. now who is the automotive tech and who gives Bill Gates his hand jobs? J/K i dont mean to come off like an ass, but those are the facts. now if youl excuse me, im going to go rip off my catalytic converter. those who say car emmissions are ruining the ozone are morons and obviously don't know anything about vehicles and the production of nitrous oxide.

i dont know exactly where they keep it all but lets just say this. the petrol you filled your car with the other day, it was drilled more than 15 years ago.

yes deisel trucks and some cars have the capability of running on refined vegtable oil. the key word here is REFINED so dont go out and start filling your trucks with a bottle of Wesson. I hold no responsibility for any damage.
