There is good news and bad news about gasoline.
First the good news....
Gasoline could be given away with technology already available.
The bad news is that the oil companies will not allow it.
Check out this link Oil independence
It will open your eyes as to a process that will allow the United States to get out of the Middle east, give us energy independence and allow us to say to the rest of the world stick your oil up your greedy little cans.
The only problem with this is the oil companies are in cahoots with the government will not allow this technology to become our answer.
We have well over 1,000 years of oil in our coal....more than enough to supply our needs and heat our homes with the natural gas, run our automobiles, and supply smokeless solid fuel to run our industries and generate electricity for as I have stated for over 1000 years.
Time for us to get on our congress and senate and make them aware of this and tell them they will be gone if nothing is done to stop this destruction of our economy.
I am thinking one of those trikes might be cool.......
The Fish carburettor again ?
Last year I kept my ranch in rural Massachusetts stoking at 76 degrees all winter long for $350.00 !!!!

Let's see now...
The patents are in the public domain...
Oil is $70 per bbl...
The nasty ole government is NOT funding this process in competition with private enterprise...
Yep, Great opportunity!
I'll put Rumplestiltskin on this project as soon as his straw-to-gold "thingy" passes peer-review...
The federal tax on gasoline is not large. It is swamped by those of the states/localities which are making out like bandits on these price increases being calculated as a percentage.
Got Flux Capacitor?
JC Whitney had a device that would improve your mileage by 50%. I installed three of them on my truck and I had to stop and pump out my gas tank every 300 miles because it was overflowing.

Sigh.
My thoughts exactly. I would love for one of these coal/carb stories to be true.
You're both wrong. Everybody knows that there was this guy who invented an engine that can drive a car 8,000 miles on a teaspoon of water, but the oil companies had him killed and destroyed the prototype.
You are indeed ignorant or complicit and know nothing or know of the absolute power these companies have over your life with the price of oil.
If there is an answer to expensive oil and getting us out of the middle east, it would be foolish, assinine and foolhardy not to look at anything that could get us into energy independence.
We could destroy the argument the enviro wackos have and kill the control big oil and foreign countries have over our economy.
I knew someone like you would come out of the woodwork and argue something stupid to get us off the topic at hand....cheap energy without strings.
We are thinking of getting a horse and buggy. Unfortunately, going shopping would require a 28 to 50 mile ride and would take most of the day, at least we would be able to afford to eat.
As a family, I recognize that 25 percent of the trips we make in our autos are completely frivolous, and could be either stopped or modified.
In other words, we now combine our errand trips. I will only go food shopping if I have something else to do while out, such as pick up the toddlers from day care, or go to the post office, or whatever.
If every family did the same, I believe we as a nation could reduce our gasoline consumption by 15-percent, or more.
One of the big problems, is that no one wants a refinery built in their neighborhood. That's a big reason why we haven't had a new ones built recently.
I have a machine that makes gasoline out of lawn clippings, but everytime I get one almost finished, Captain Kirk beams it up to the Enterprise and sells it to the Klingons.
Exactly.
I get worked up when I see calls for the government to foster this research or that research. The payoff to develop an alternative to petroleum is already mind-bogglingly huge. If the market sees a promising technology then money will gravitate toward its research. If the government has to throw money at a particular type of research, maybe it's a loser?
Huh and why no criticism from you about the whackos such as the sierra club and elf.
Oh BTW, those evil oil companies provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, while the sierra club maybe provides hundreds.
Also the oil companies actually produce wealth, your favorite the sierra club, provides useless hot air.
In addition to building new refinaries, the new refinaries can have the ability to refine heavy crude into gas where currently they have to use light crude. Heavy crude is about $15 a barrell less.
