the mileage of the same vehicle burning gas. Go here and look up e.g.
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee (there are others, same story) which shows

on those E85 billboards ...


E85 will have to be 70% or less of the going price of gas at the pump to
get anyone interested in buying it en masse.

I'll tell you what - if the price of my Corn Flakes goes up because of

And it ain't gonna be pretty. :)

Did anyone see the recent news article about ethanol? Seems it may be
worse for our health and the environment than gas.

And!

You heard it here first, folks.

Global warming is over. Another cycle of global cooling is setting in.
Just watch the reports over the next few months.

In some ways that would make more sense. All the polution thrown up into
the atmosphere by gas guzzling oversized SUVs plus those coal fired electric
plants
has to be reflecting sunlight back into space.

I just read one of my newsletters and it appears that the "consensus"
is falling apart with some of the scientists Al quoted in his movie
now saying that he's taken facts and science out of context.

Heh...

LOL! The price of cornflakes is already about 500% more than what it costs
to produce. One of the biggest moneymakers of any company. I buy 'em too.
