My friend payed 1.99$ this afternoon, we seen it .09$ cheaper 12 miles down the road at another small community station. Wal-Mart sells it for 1.79 about 30 minutes from here I guess. I haven't bought gas since it was 1.78$ at a regular station.

I've been paying around $2 per gallon. It ridiculous. I remeber a few years ago when it was half that. This war we're in is good for nothing. I thought we'd at least get some good gas prices for taking over a country. I let Mastercard or Visa pay for my gas.

That would be interesting. I wish there was more focus on transportation technology that didn't rely so much on a resource that will soon run dry.

I really don't doubt the conspiracy theory's about big oil business buying out alternative energy source's inventors.

There was but it was so ungodly expensive...no one would purchase the technology...now it's gone to half and half...but it still costs so much...funny thing is...Tom Hanks is funding his own company and research for these half and half cars...

There is still stuff like hemp oil vehicles that can be built for under 100,000$ if more people cared stuff would change.

They're working on the hydrogen powered car. It uses hydro electricity to seperate the hydrogen from oxygen in water to make the hydrogen fuel and the waste from the hydrogen engine is just water, cool. But its still years away.

I haven't heard that one but I have a strong feeling that I can not prove that there is much higher technology's out there that could seriously help us(people) as a species that are being held back by big business. I don't doubt it goes deep into many aspects of the economy.

who has the money to purchase a car like that...i know you're big on these fancy car that ride so smooth and look so good...but most people don't have money like that and the people that can afford the gas prices like these can afford the new trend of big vehicles....
