And I am sure you have some secret design to lower compression on a high
compression racing motor. Maybe you can send it to NA$Cball so they can
run on 80 octane.

Just paid $2.75 this morning, 8:30AM, 9/3/2005.

Most local stations are $3.19 or more, my sincere thanks to Mr. Sam Walton
and Sam's Club, I've paid for my membership with my gas savings this year.

I've seen $2.59 to $3.39 just yesterday alone. Unfortunately, the $2.59
station was out of gas, but the $2.89 station was still pumping, and the
$3.39 station had no customers (don't know if they had gas, I wasn't
about to stop). We don't have a shortage problem yet, we have a
distribution problem as a result of the majority of Atlantians panicking.

You almost can't afford NOT to burn premium at these rates. When it was
1.359 for regular the mid grade was 1.459 and premium was 1.559....now that
it's 3.399 the mid and premium are still only a dime more...go figure.

Wouldn't help. The refineries are offline and we need more.

'less your viper burns straight crude.

I'll just happily drive my 4 banger getting 36 Hwy with AC at 72mph &
30mph in town using regular.

Buying up and closing refineries all over the country has proven to be one
of the stupidest things of recent years....but hey greed is a terrible thing
to waste.....

Do you contend that if we got $200 billion in light crude, that we could
not refine it in this country and lower the cost of a gallon of gas at the
pumps?

Is Bushtard not profiteering from this? Does his family no longer have
$100M worth of wealth from the oil industry?!??! How about Hallicheney?
Was he not the CEO of Halliburton? Does his wife and children not own
Halliburton stock as part of their living trusts? He only sold his
personal shares, you know. Living trusts were precluded from need for sale
prior to him running for VP.

You can profess your love for Bushtard all you want - but he is still an

nope, don't understand engines well enough. I do know that nascar
generally lives in the past for autotech.

The cars with sensors are run by computers and the computer does the
magic. And to me, what car engine computers do largely is magic. I
once had a car whose distributor was off 10 degrees of and it ran
fine. they had to adjust it to make it pass pollution tests. The
computer was able to compensate for the terrible distributor
placement. How? Heck if I know.

Whining is what is does when it loses an argument.

It does a lot of whining.
