Maybe youve seen this, maybe not (i.e. Gas Prices)

No No No... Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits by converting garbage into energy. The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible.
I'm not sure a Mr. Fusion will clear the hood on a bodydrop though.

E85 is 15% gasoline, there is no independence from oil if it is a key ingredient. Thats what the 85 is, its 85% alcohol, 15% gasoline. Same as E10 is 90% gasoline.
Now it could be they will run E100, but the tractors that farm the land and the trucks that haul the grain and even a portion of the electricity (not to mention all the trucks used in that industry) is still derived from oil.
Thats what people dont realize, just how ingrained oil production, refining, distribution, and use is in our economy. Take away the oil, you might as well drop a nuclear bomb for how many people will be affected by the repurcussions. Only the truely myopic can see how an abstinence program would work, which it wont.

and i recently did the calculation of a 2300 mile trip on pump gas versus E85 and here is what i came up with.
if your paying $3 a gallon and getting 12 mi per gallon thats $30 for every 120 miles traveled which equates to $0.25 per mile. x 2300 miles =$575.00
if you pay $2.20 per gallon of e-85 you will see 9 mpg which equals $0.24 per mile. x 2300 miles =$552
all of these calculations are based on hypothetical MPG and they are all calculated based upon a 10gallon fillup in a 5.9l V8 Ram
the thing is the fillups.
for the trip reg fuel would require 8 fillups where as e85 would mean you have to stop 10 times for gas (assuming perfect conditions)
so you would have to figure your $23 or your time and whatever is worth more to you.

it is a known fact that E85 gets less MPG than regular gasoline. based on the above calculation, and my own calculation, you will not save enough to make it worthwhile, if any...

You know it is truly funny to see people complaining about gas even more funny that the fact is that water cost more than gas?? and people don't complain about that 16oz water $1.00 X 4 = $4.00 a gallon or even milk which around $3.00 or another good one a nice cup of joe from your local starbucks i mean come on lets be real they are not gonna lower the costs of gas just because everyone is not going to mobile or exxon

im just gonna deal with the prices but if you think about it 4 billion in profit= 4 billion over the companies overhead cost(what it cost to run the company) so im not seeing any reason why they need 4 billion extra dollars every quarter 1 billion should be fine its just that the head owners are fucken greedy and what ever the price of gas it doesnt matter to them cuz they will always beable to afford it. i think this right hear is what pisses people off the most if gas prices were this high and the companies were doing horribly fiscally i dont think the general public would be so pissed off about the prices but when some one is paying out the ass for gas and then they see that some ones getting realy realy rich (billion = alot then x 4=a fucken shitload) they tend to get really pissed. im not trying to be a dick and start a problem but mr. oilfields could you please explain to me what they need all that extra money for?
