Just wait till it hits $7.00 then $10.00 then $15.00! I just hope the buses can afford it to take us across town to work. A bus ticket will be $50.00! One way!

Anyone got a mule for sale? He could eat my neighbors grass and I'll sell his poop to the methanol processing plants that are going to pop up everywhere...

...now that's a thought. I think I'll start saving my poop and become rich in the future!

I already save mine in little jars in my basement.

Gas in Eastman has dropped 14 cents since last week. YAY!!! again YAY!!! How is it looking where you are? Now just 290 more pennies to go. Yea right...

Crap I forgot $3.90 here.

USAF_462/2W1X1 · 07-25-2008, 03:57 PM

3.99 here in NM, but I am sure if I drive over to Texas it would be about 3.65 or so...

NRAJOE · 07-25-2008, 06:54 PM

Paid $3.55 gal today....

Big Dog · 07-26-2008, 10:49 AM

Well, gas has dropped from an average of $4.09/gal to an average of $3.99/gal, with a few stations down to $3.95. One was even at $3.85 a gallon!

A good start - but a long way to go.....

ArkansasHunter · 07-26-2008, 11:06 AM

$3.88 for reg. unleaded in So. Ark. Does any one know what a barrell of Crude Oil closed at Friday ???

bayman1975 · 07-26-2008, 11:14 AM

$3.75 a gal. for 87 octane in Northeast Arkansas (Jonesboro) today.

ArkansasHunter · 07-26-2008, 11:15 AM

HEY !!!! ARKIE

Blackrock · 07-28-2008, 06:20 AM

$3.74 here in Sunny Southern Arizona. Paid $3.51 over in Lordsburg NM @ Flying J yesterday.

Deersniper · 07-29-2008, 07:13 PM

3.89 here in central Texas. Saw on the news that it may drop to 75.00 a barrel. I must of been dreaming. Alternatives are the answer to the monopoly.

cubbieman · 07-30-2008, 03:00 PM

you guys are all lucky, it's $4.45ish in town and $4.499 at the station closest to my house. and I'm only a couple miles away from a refinery and the pipeline

.22guy · 07-30-2008, 03:24 PM

I got all happy yesterday because I saw a couple stations at $4.15/gallon. Better than than 4.59 I guess.

NRAJOE · 07-30-2008, 03:50 PM

Still $3.55 here...

cubbieman · 07-31-2008, 05:26 PM

still $4.45

better than $7.25 in kotzebue

Brother Bob · 08-01-2008, 07:35 PM

3.499 in Norman, Oklahoma and 3.639 in the Memphis area. It's slowly coming down, thank God! I only paid $102 to fill up my Tahoe, today!

LiveToShoot · 08-01-2008, 08:36 PM

In SE Idaho I just paid $4.10 for regular unleaded...and it's $4.69 for diesel.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. —
The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal
Let's not kid ourselves: Oil company executives weren't shaking in their boots last week when the University of Tennessee and a private company announced plans to build the state's first cellulosic ethanol distillery.

As with virtually all of the energy options facing our country, there are questions about the practicality of using cellulosic ethanol as a fuel source.

Scientists already know how to extract sugar from cellulose, a fibrous material found in plants. However, it remains to be seen if cellulosic sugar can be extracted and converted into ethanol efficiently enough to justify mass production.

UT's partnership with DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC will put that theory to the test.

At a plant in East Tennessee, the partners will attempt to make cellulosic ethanol, initially from corn leaves and stalks, and later from switch-grass. Their efforts will be backed by $70 million in state funds and technical assistance from Oak Ridge National Laboratories.

This is certainly worth a shot.

The more common form of ethanol made from corn has been blamed for higher food prices and food shortages around the world. A breakthrough with cellulosic ethanol could potentially eliminate an either-or choice between food and fuel.

People worried about rising gasoline costs (which is pretty much all of us) disagree on the best solution to that problem.

In reality, we'll probably need not just one solution -- but many. And cellulosic ethanol is one possibility that's worth exploring.
