Yes, make that gas $10 a gallon. almost no one could afford to
drive.
See
where the economy would be then. As to price, adjusted for
inflation,
is
cheaper than about 1970.

And I was driving in 1970, and it wasn't easy to make sure I had
enough gas to make it to school and back. It sucked then, and it
sucks
now, so what is the point?

For your edification. Relative to the economy, gas is cheaper than
1970.
You just want those $100k/year jobs and $0.23 a gallon gas. I
remember
when
I made $5k a year (about 1964) and the CEO of the company (Fortune
500)
was
knocking down about $89k/year. Thought that if I ever made 20k I
would
be
in fat city. When I exceeded the CEO's yearly, I still was not in
fat
city,
as the rest of the costs had escalated also. My first $25k house
is
now
$400k, My house that costs about $50k after additions is a $900k
house.
Figure a 16x multiplier and that $0.23 gallon gas should be $3.68
gallon. A
large part of the energy problem is government regulations. We are
require
to add MTBE to gas in California (and other states) by the Fed's.
Reduces
air pollution by a stated 6%, but since we get 10% less mileage with
MTBE,
the overall saving is less, as well as we have poisoned the waters
all
over
the nation with a really toxic substance. The Fed's to help out ADM
(very
good friend of the Clinton Administration) are requiring alcohol to
be
added
to gas. Less mileage, and costs more per gallon to produce than the
gas.
Now they have reformulated diesel #2 for OTR (over the road) and the
price
is up, and the energy per gallon is down. (less mileage). Chevron
and
the
other oil companies have stated they can make just as clean burning
fuel
without adding MTBE or alcohol. But government requirements are
preventing
this.

Sorry, your senile babbling does nothing to answer the question.

You just don't understand.

Oh, I understand too well. You apparently do not. Just a hint for you.
There are many, many gasoline formulas, required by different STATES.
You can go from there, and find enough errors in your above babbling
to fill a book.

Take a reading comprehension course. I stated that the government
regulations require the oil companies to make 500 different blends. Now
this increases costs, as you can not ship excess from one market to the
next. The government had imposed so many road blocks to buliding new
refineries, that none have been build in over 30 years. Major modifications
are even restricted. Same thing you stated above:
There are many, many gasoline formulas, required by different STATES.
Now where are my errors?
