heard of the corn gas or whatever?...its crap
it takes more energy to make it than it can put out
fact.

False now.
Local company turned the corner on that last year.
You guys got any corn down there?

Actually, they don't need corn per se. Just waste cellulose, the non-food portion of plants. Pure genius.

Albeit for allllll the profit they are making I don't get them not making another refinery.

Environmental laws make that frighteningly expensive, even for Big Oil.

I think switching to alternative fuels faster would be the smartest thing to do. It would be rather easy to convert a vehicle from gasoline to something like corn oil. Also, corn could be grown at any time during the year in greenhouses. Farmers would profit, and our dependence on foreign oil would decrease, therefore lowering the price of our gasoline. I don't know how much of a loss a car would take in the hp/tq department by switching to the corn stuff. Just my opinion.

One more thing...oil companies are charging more per barrel because it's harder to refine gasoline these days...I don't know how it's "harder" to refine oil into gasoline now than it was, say, ten years ago. Just a thought.

Well guys, i have since stopped my efforts in spreading this word ( lol pretty quick campaign huh lol ). I posted the link to the thread where i got the idea from and even quoted the fact that it wasn't my idea and i was just trying to spread the word because it sounded like it'd work. Well, here's the evidence on why it wouldn't...

Nevermind the flamers, i own them all in the end. And one thing i've realized on these sites is that if your a noob to the site ( as far as post counts or join dates because that's what some dumbfucks judge you by ) you get flamed instantly. You'd think with people that spend more money on cars would have some type of class and have a respectful arguement on the subject if they feel opposite of the idea. Instead you get a bunch of asshats that show that the more money you spend on a car, the more your able to be a complete prick.

Lol who's with me? I think we need to ask Hasport to make some custom Honda Hybrid engine mount kits..... I have to fill my tank maybe every 4 1/2 days! I wish I had my F22 still, I lasted about at least a full week with that motor. Shoot how much are those civic engines putting out as far as mileage? 55ish to the gallon? In my opinion Hybrid gas/electric cars are the way to go in this rough age. That new Accord Hybrid hauls ass for a hybrid car and puts out decent mileage since it can tone down it's power useage when not under heavy load.

I hope something happens about the price of gas soon. One of the gas stations I sometimes get stuck using is at 2.95 right now. Luckily, I filled up right before a spike in the price of gas.
I feel sorry for all my friends who drive cars with V6s in em lol.

I live in Manitoba, Canada, and the gas here is at $1.09/gallon right now. I remember the good old days when gas was $0.45/gallon.

Wait, so legal bud and cheap gas? Hmmm, Texas might have been beaten as far as great places to live(zips up flame retardant suit)!

For the record I don't smoke. I just think I'm funny sometimes.
