John, I agree we have plenty of both and we should do something. The issue is not a shortage of fuel it`s a shortage of drilling and refineries. A small minority wants us to go Green and they don`t care about prices or the economy. Gasoline is still the best fuel out there and the cheapest. I would use ethanol if it was really cost effective---if it wasn`t subsidized they wouldn`t make the stuff. It`s driving up the cost of food. I think they can utilize the people in the auto industry and come up with better fuel economy. Heck an LT-1 in a Buick Roadmaster gets 21 mpg.To think ethanol is going to fill the gap is a dream. If I could trust that the powers to be would leave us alone and give us the oppertunity to have the fuel we need to run in our cars I might concede. I know there is non-oxy fuel here--but how long?? We better keep an eye on these guys or someday it may get to costly to have an old car. Sorry about the rant---follow the money!!
