I knew something didn't make sense. I saw a price of 117.50.
I tried converting from litres to gallons, and adjusting monopoly money into USD. So what the heck is a price of 117.9? I see Ontario listes as around 98.0. What are the units of measurement? http://www.novascotiagasprices.com/ http://www.ontariogasprices.com/ "Martin Baxter" wrote in message ...

change their driving and car purchase habits. That would do it, according to economists. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "Capt. JG" wrote in message ...

Nothing to do with trucks, freight, etc. They need to travel. The main
problem is that regular consumers need to be weaned off of large, gas guzzling cars and Stupid Utility Vehicles. If gas prices rose to north of $5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars more efficient because no one would buy the gas pigs. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ...

If gas prices rose to north of $5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars more efficient because no one would buy the gas pigs. Wouldn't hurt to stop using those stupid plastic water bottles (I believe that industry actually started on that left coast), plastic bags and non returnable glass bottles. Lot of oil and energy goes into making them. I run on the Natchez Trace Trails just about daily covering an average of about five miles. Can't go a day without seeing several plastic water bottles and bags trashing up my trails. And contrary to what you might think, the vast majority does not get recycled. It ain't the car companies. It is the fools that buy them. Car companies will make whatever there is demand for. I'm not sure $5/gal would get it there. Frank |

True, you can get an armored Mini-Cooper now

Yeah, I've heard that, too. And I disagree. Americans love big, consumptive vehicles (boats, airplanes, and motorhomes as well as cars). All those fuel prices will do is put some people in the poor house, shut down some small ma-pa businesses, convince Daimler-Chrysler to import the Smart Car, and tank the economy while causing inflation and interest rates to rise. But the total fuel burned in this country won't change much, if at all. Ethanol is a great alternative fuel, and almost inexhaustible. But Big Oil has seen to it that it will never be readily accepted, at least as long as the flow of crude is unimpeded, despite the cost. Max |

Brazil is 90+ precent self reliant because of ethanol they produce from
sugar cane. But burning any fuel is not the way to go. Solar, Wind, and Nuke is the way to go IMO. Joe |
