You missed the ones that are in the boonies - up to $5-6/gallon

Yeah, the prices suck, but what can you do. The prices will continue to fluctuate. They run the game where they hike it up, bring it back down, but never lower than what it was previously. Soon we'll be talkin about the good old days when it was 3.00. The best commuter is a bike.

Yeah man, they have some bomb *** food there. Try the omlettes too. Mmmm, I just went by the 76 in Newark Jarvis/Newark Blvd, it was at like 2.73. Not too bad. But this isn't that bad. I was in Washington DC last summer...and it cost me 40$ to fill up from about a quarter tank...

It'll hit hard like last summer...it'll suck...

I really want us to start producing and using E85 in CA. It will be cheaper and it's 104 Octane.

I'm confused. if it's called E85 then why is it 104 octane? I'm assuming that E means ethynol? Brazil uses Ethynol for a main source of fuel. Matter of fact they are almost 90% fuel independent from other sources because they produce enough Ethynol to support themselves. Ethynol is made from corn for those who don' know.

An awesome pro: Ethynol is cheap! Costs almost half of what regular Gasoline costs. So while we pay $2.30 a gallon for gas, we would only pay around a $1.30 for Ethynol. No doubt those punks would charge more because everyone knows that Gas is hella marked up in the US.

A con: Ethynol doens't burn as hot, and so it's not a good fuel to use for starting a vehical with. So as a result, you will need regular gas to start your vehical. Once it is warmed up enough, it can start using Ethynol. (correct me if this the wrong reason why this happens)
