From his own website Ah, so there really is a problem. More revenue is needed to fix potholes and such. The 17.5 cent/gal gasoline tax is not enough to pay for the state's road maintenance needs. So how to address that shortfall? Step 1: :boggled::jaw-dropp:confused: Step 2: This is a...

Here in Australia we've had E10 fuel for quite a while (E10 means 10% Ethanol), as a cheaper alternative to plain unleaded. But I've noticed that the price difference has been getting smaller over time. Filling up my old Mazda this morning, I noticed that the price difference (at least in my...

Several days ago, a Shell gasoline station in Plainfield, Indiana mistakenly entered a price of $.002/gal. into the computer. That was the price displayed at the pump. Scores of people filled up with the obviously mispriced gasoline. After a few hours, a customer notified the attendant. The...

While cutting taxes has traditionally been a Republican position, the Democrats have suggested a (temporary) cut in gasoline taxes. Meanwhile, the federal-handout position has been picked up by the Republicans, who suggest giving everyone (earning less than $125,000) a $100 check regardless of...

Say what? That's $600 a barrel! I use about $9,000 in gasoline a year. If every American did so then thats $3 trillion dollars more money than the government takes in taxes. An impossibility. Did they drop a decimal point? Report Reveals Actual Cost Of Gas To Consumers Is As High As $15.14...

Hello, I'm no expert in determining gasoline prices, especially now, but in NJ the price has just "mysteriously" dropped anywhere from 20 to 40 cents a gallon now that it's the first full week after Labor Day -- the official weekend ending summer. Right on Cue. Anyone else see the same elsewhere?

There are two major benefits to having cars that don't run on gasoline: 1: Better for the environment 2: Less dependence on foreign oil But...what if it is more expensive? We've seen how people are getting upset at a relatively minor increase in gas prices. By "relatively minor" I am...

*sigh* I googled this stuff, but with no success. I have heard in the last hour: 1) Two oil tankers collided on the Mississippi River, and gas prices are going to shoot up. 2) Gas is $7.00/gal in Chicago The second is easily verifiable if anyone is in Chicago. The first seems bizarre. I...

On Cartalk this morning, a caller asked whether the magnets he is using to hold his gas cap door shut could cause gas fumes to ignite while he's pumping gas. Tom and Ray assured him that they would not, because permanent magnets have no electricity associated with them. Which raises two...

I came across this in the metro section of the washingtonpost: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38168-2004Nov9.html It turns out it's only servicing a grand total of six vehicles in the District, but I guess you have to start somewhere. Then on the way home I heard on NPR that...

A recurring topic here (when it can bump the Middle East off the map) is the debate on oil—especially using the term “peak oil” to indicate the coming crisis, while others argue that oil is still plentiful and new resources can be tapped. An article in the Huntsville Times Sunday 2 May by...

Heard a story how gas prices are slowly creeping up. I figured at this point gas would be pre 911 cheap. Isnt that why we kinda went into Iraq. We have control of some of the biggest oil fields in the world, and gas still is pricey!!!! Makes me think, if we opened up ANWAR would that do...
