$3.99 / gal...might be time for E85....
Problem with e-85 is its corn based ... expensive to manufacture, less corn for livestock Bovine,pig, and chicken. cost more to feed live stock shortage of feed .. gas goes down feed goes up food at the supermarket goes up. Pretty sick cycle food and fuel are completely connected. Sugar cane is more efficient to manufacture e-85 but we don't produce enough of it and we tariff the hell out of imported sugar. There is a bill out there to drop the tariff for sugar to e-85 but the domestic sugar producers are for obvious reasons do not want that to happen. Anyway the point being gas prices suck
e-85 is not the answer either less $$ at the pump but you pay more in the supermarket. If Im going to spend lots of $$ on fuel im glad im putting it something i like to drive.

Wow, there are just too many ignorant responses here for me to bother with. Suffice to say that those of you who believe Shell or Exxon determine the price you pay at the pump are severely misinformed.Many of you are probably receiving the $600 stimulus check, right? That should cover the extra expense for this year
Oh, and yes, obviously oil companies are going to post large profits when their primary input increases in value as they need to keep their margins alive. Funnily enough, Shell and E-M's profits were SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN EXPECTED because the price of oil is so high it's severely cutting into their refining profits.
Get out of here with that nonsense.

so, basically, the stimulus makes everything better becuase instead of people making headway on paying off their debts or saving for the future or upgrading an inefficient household appliance, they instead get the priveledge of forwarding their tax rebate to exxon, shell, et al?
someone obviously isn't paying attention.
again, you have been quoted. so everyone can have a chuckle.
