I dunno: What I do know is that we don’t need to ration or boycott anyone, we need to DRILL baby DRILL.

I cannot understand why the fools in Washington cannot figure that out. Instead they are willing to send billions a day to country’s that want us destroyed.

At one time about (fifteen years ago) I read an article that showed Conoco and Marathon (Sunoco and no name brands?) as neither one using any imported oil. I can't see how that would be the case after the last price collapse and rebound in oil, though, unless they own a lot of oil in this country themselves and refine no more than they can pump from their own reserves.

I have three gas stations in my area of life that sell ethanol free. I don’t care about the others.

For a person to selectively purchase gasoline exclusively from vendors supplied by refineries that include no Middle East or Ven crude in their crude mix is ridiculous.

It’s analogous to a greenie buying “100% renewable” electricity, which is one of the most brilliant market segmentation marketing schemes ever invented. All the greenie does in fact is pay a premium for his electrons, but he feels good because they’re renewable. But since is absolutely impossible to supply much electricity from such sources, everybody else pays normal rates for conventional electricity that would be produced in any case.

Plus the greenie’s actual electrons are supplied from a grid and there’s no way in fact to assure that his electrons were actually produced from a renewable source. Just like most gasoline is supplied via a common carrier pipeline system.

Regardless of whether the e-mail is current or accurate (it’s neither) the whole idea of the e-mail is palpably ridiculous.

They no doubt put in the maximum amount of ethanol allowed by law. My wife is always telling me the gas is cheaper at Walmart when I want to stop someplace else to put gas in her car. She just doesn’t get it.

She would understand if she compared the miles per gallon between no ethanol and ethanol. My wife caught that. She has to buy more gas if she uses ethanol.
