Silly question: Do you think the drop in gas prices is in any part related

[KitchenWitch]

to *'s drop in poll numbers?

I got E-85 for $1.699 and regular unleaded was $2.099 in the suburban Twin Cities area today!

1. that and the obscene record quarter profits

and the threat of investigation caused the oil companies to slow their bleeding of the country. Soon, though, they will find another reason to exploit us - sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

3. true enough!

:grr:

2. I hate to sound stupid, but what is E-85?

Ga. used to have the lowest gas prices in the US but the lowest I've seen today was $2.32

4. E-85 is a blend of 85% ethanol to 15% gasoline

Not all cars can use it, but mine can. Not a stupid question at all.

I get a couple MPG less on E-85 but I feel better about using it.

6. Why aren't some cars able to burn it?

BTW thanks for the explaination. I never heard any specific name for the ethanol product.

7. I am not sure....

I have heard of people doing half gasoline half E-85 and being alright. I think the engine has to be tuned a certain way...

5. your statement suggests some level of competence...

...within the administration to secretly engage in strategic collusion with multinational firms.

Somehow I have a hard time believing there is anyone in the White House with a fraction of the brain power needed to pull that off.

8. where is your sarcasm smilies?

you got to be kidding on that
or didn't notice the last election.
Or you must be a corporate citizen.

9. We have been set up for $3 gas--just like we were for $2 gas a few ...

years back.

10. You are right the current drop in gas is an attempt to recover * ground
