All of that makes food more expensive? Do tell.

The problem, which is well publicized, is that the US is encouraging the
incorporation of ethanol into gasoline, and farmers have discovered that
they can get higher prices for crops raised to be turned into ethanol
than they can for crops raised to be sold as food, hence significant
amounts of acreage are going to the production of ethanol and food
prices rise accordingly as supply is lessened.

We cannot drill for oil here because the powers that be are sitting on it,
waiting for $15 a gallon gas down the line. Plus, it would disturb the
striped slug, porcupine caribou mouse, Kanab pond snail, and spotted roufus
titcatcher.

And we can't have that.

We don't have a hell of a lot left, but we're sitting right on top of it in
our own country, and we won't go and get it. Seems like it's time to clean
house of tyrants and fertilize a few trees.

Let's get reasonable. Let's drive smaller, more efficient cars. Let's
insulate. Let's just plug the holes where we are using too much. That
would be a big start.

Or, we could wait for Barry to produce all those millions of "green jobs"
waiting somewhere mysteriously in the wings to be produced with all that
green money they must have lining the halls of Congress somewhere. (I do
wonder where all that money is stored.) Or continue spending it on
"studies" done by political supporters, teacher union types, and dope
smoking hippies doing studies on the sex habits of college freshmen. (I
applied for that, but was denied as being overqualified.) I'm thinking of
building an underground house. If I am going to end up living in a cave,
it's going to be a good one.

4.54 l per Imperial gallon
3.78 l per US gallon. (French sucked them in to a standard and then
changed...again)

That would make it $5.22 per Imperial gallon

$4.34 per US gallon.

The US just needs to get a bigger gallon or change to metric (as they
started in '55) and cut their unit price by almost a factor of 4.

It will also mean many will have to get another extra vehicle. You can't
tow a 21 foot runabout with a Volkswagen turbo diesel. You can't pull a
bobcat or backhoe with one, either. Nor can you carry much mulch or gravel
in a mini pickup, and a larger vehicle will be necessary to tote a new set

Factor in everyone paying more for _everything_ when fuel goes significantly
higher. In the US, virtually everything a person buys has traveled by

Just for fun.
In Holland regular (euro 95) is €1.579 per liter
(at a BP station in Wageningen, so probably could be had for a little less)

€1.00 =$1.3572
gas is 1.3572*1.579=$2.1430188 per liter
1 US gallon = 3.78 liter

In Holland 1 gallon of regular costs $8.10

I will add that prices at that station are normally less than the
competition down the street. One block east and west regular goes for $2.99
and Premium is close to $3.30. The station I bought from simply decided to
not gouge quite as deeply.
A couple of weeks ago I saw gasoline go up by 15 cents per gallon at a local
station. A week later they were back in line with the competition. They
were trying to persuade the local competition to go up too.

The gasoline stations pricing strategy goes like this.

1. Raise the price for no reason other than to make more profit. Nothing
wrong with that.
2. Did they like the results of raising the price?
3. yes, Leave the price at the higher rate.
4. no, Lower the price again.

I have no doubt that the petroleum market is one of the [if not THE]
most manipulated commodities on the planet - think Enron. You have to
wonder if a lot of the volume isn't being traded back and forth between
brokers just to artificially inflate the price. And, you have to wonder
that if it costs less to produce a domestic barrel (shouldn't it?) why
producers still get the global price for a home grown barrel. Well, I guess
anybody can guess that.
As for refineries, the majors have been wailing for years about the
government regulations and red tape, not to mention the cost, of building
any new facilities. They also like to cite how the public is 'NIMBY.' And
I think that's BS. "Squeezing" the supply line helps to keep the price of
their inventory inflated. Then again, if BP wanted to build within 10 miles
of my home I'd cry NIMBY, as loud as the next guy.

Right, but so many US residents (particularly far right Republicans) seem to
be convinced that Healthcare is provided free to everyone. Yes, children and
those who cannot work are covered at no cost to themselves, just the same as
police protection, fire fighters and other services that are paid out of tax
revenues. Not everything is covered, there are still many procedures,
services or treatments that must be paid for by those requesting them.

It DOES make a difference. Virtually all U.S. refineries are operating at
100% capacity. When one goes offline, the effects are almost always felt.

Here in Canada, where we have all the oil sands and export most to the
US, gasoline in Ontario costs $1.15 per litre, at 4 litres per gallon,
that is $4.60 per gallon. Don't complain about $3.00 to $4.00 a gallon
because that is a bargain, and it is probably made from the same Canadian
oil that our overpriced gas is made from.

Apparently that "free" health care has to be paid for somehow, who knew?

Healthcare is NOT free. In Ontario, all employers have to pay a premium for
each employee, and each employee has to pay a premium for healthcare that is
added on to the annual income tax total.

You have been trolled. The discussion was about gas prices and Devvy
decided to toss in health care.

Of course, that was my point, that sooner or later, one way or another, you
pay for it.

And what does that troll have to do with the price of gas?
