Sweden already has some 15 000 cars that run on alcohol in use. (That's still nothing compared Finland though: we have 6 million people that run on alcohol)

if anything, we're in the right country to live in when shit hits the fan....
neste have developed a way to render diesel fuel from animal fats (i.e. cows). well...that was just a side note...but the reason why i think Finland will be ok is...
the whole country is networked with railways which rely on electricity...majority of public transport i.e. trams and trains do not rely on petrol...except for a few buses but now they're switching to ethanol it seems...
plus, the Finnish society still have a tie with their "natural roots" if worse comes to worse the public can easily (well maybe easily isn't the correct word - but easier than most countries) revert back to rural living, i.e. living off hte land, not relying at all on petrol based products.

When I first started driving , about 6 years ago , I could fill up on premium at about any gas station for 1.30/gal. In the 6 short years since I started driving , gas prices have already gone up about 50% and there only going to continue to increase. It's getting rather rediculous , but Im poor and it hits me hard , rich people couldnt care less. It could be 5 bux a gallon and they would still be rollin around in their 8mpg SUV's.

True. btw, I just read that Hesburger is building a power plant that runs on used cooking oils.

They're good but too small for my taste. If I'm having fastfood I usually go for a 5? rullakebab, (which is much bigger in Turku than in Helsinki IMO ).

My roomate just got assis manager at a gas station so i am set .
I guess cigs are near 4 bucks a pack and people just throw him 4 dollars and leave with out change. Whatever he is over at the end of the night he either gives me some free gas or buys shit in the store.

Gas here only costs ~$2.25. I guess it pays to live in a boring state (IN). Who here thinks they have the highest prices?
