8/30    Holy shitpackers Batman.  Katrina hits just before Labor Day weekend,
        the biggest driving weekend of the year.  How high will those gas
        prices go?
        \_ $.50?  more?
        \_ $2.97 at Shell on Lawrence and Kiely this morning, I'm guessing
                             \_ Aren't those streets parallel?
                                \_ Sorry I ment Kifer.
           over $3 by this weekend.
           \_ Is this for 87 octane?
              \_ Yes.
           \_ Tower Gasoline in San Francisco, which generally has the
              cheapest gas in the city (which isn't saying much) has the
              following prices today as I recall:
              $3.07 for 87 octane
              $3.15 for 89 octane
              $3.25 for 92 octane
        \_ Roughly 25% of US refining capacity is in the area.  High.  And
           no, they won't come back down after everything is cleaned up and
           back to normal.  Invest in energy companies.

        \_ You might have missed the point.  Hiring a chauffeur to drive your

7/8     Is there some reason we can't have mass market nat gas cars?

        \_ Not enough infrastructure for refueling.  Chicken and egg.
        \_ It has less than half the energy density of gasoline.  -tom
           \_ So you have to compress it, which results in huge explosions
              during a crash. Same for flywheel tech.

7/21    Quasi Science Question:
        Is running a high ethanol mix going to mess up my 4 banger?
        Also, why do people hate on the eth?  At $2.11/gal it's kinda
        nice, i didn't notice any pings.  - Des Moines CSUAer.
        \_ 2.11 is what you pay for it (maybe) but it isn't what WE pay
           for it.  What's the subsidy per gallon?  What's the cost
