Gas Pricing According To The American Petroleum Institute

[Frank Lee]

Why Are Gas Prices Rising?

Boy, it sure is too bad that petroleum is the only substance in the whole world that will burn in an engine...

translated as:

"Don't blame US, we're just getting RICHER at your expen$e..." (pun intended)!

"You want cheaper gas? Pay more for it!"

Huh? I use 100% renewable fuel, not from petroleum; it burns very well in my engine. Even gassers can do this if they use butanol.

If the price bothers you, drive something that burns less of it.

If you figure the cost of driving in terms of how many miles you can drive for an hour's work at minimum wage, gas is actually cheaper for me now than it was in the '70s.

PS: And that's not even figuring that I drive a good bit less - say 6000 miles/yr - now than I would have then, thanks to telecommuting :-)
