If Bush were smart, he'd have the EPA authorize any and all gasoline formulas everywhere in the USA. Why is one formula better at fighting smog in LA? A second in Huston? A Third in Chicago?

One of the bottlenecks that creates the summer increase in prices is the strain that so many different formulas have on the limited refining, storage and distribution of the product.

The formula I buy in Cornland to go to Chicago gives me 10 or 15% more mileage than the smog figthing formula I buy in Chicago to return to work. So if the smog fighting formula burns more gas for the same miles, how is that a plus for either energy conservation or pollution?

Yeah why didn't the pinheads including W make that a cornerstone of that pig of an energy bill?

I really don't know why we keep bothering for government to solve our problems. Getting government in usually takes the solution out. Its like getting mad at a pig for wallowing in the mud. It will just frustrate you and annoy the pig. We should focus on limiting the power of government.
