the only thing that "works" is to block the fuel refineries. Do that and you will get locked up.

It's not E85, our gas is only 10% ethanol.  Matter of fact, there are only a handful of places all across Oregon that you can get E85.

We all pay the difference because of the 51¢ per gallon federal blenders credit.  Our federal tax dollars at work.  Every time someone drives on E85, we all pay.

For the last month we've been bouncing between $2.97 three days during the week and $3.35 during the other four days of the week.

They used to hike it up on Thursay and drop it on Monday but since the general price has gone up so much people have been more aware of when gas is cheaper.  Now you never know when they're going to jack it up.  It's totally random (as far as I can tell).

It's around $2.80 in Ft.Worth. Add 20 cents a gallon for the extra distance they don't have to ship it (we have a refinery) to here.:huh

Get ready for it to jump about 20 cents a gallon because of Hugo Chavez. Any excuse to jack up the price.

Yeah, you have to add about $.40 in tax subsidy to E85 the subtract about 20 percent of your gas mileage. Then consider that so many crops have been converted to corn for ethanol that your food prices have increased.
