the solution is simple, we all run methanol. While were at it, lets put in some Nitro Methane and Hydrazine.

This would not affect supply/demand. As stated by others, OPEC has far too much control over supply for demand-side economics to have any lasting affect on pricing. To boot, higher gas prices seem bo be having little to no effect on driving habits and vehicle purchase decisions. Don't expect gas to ever be under $2.00 USD / gallon again.

I've never had a chance to smell burning nitro methane, but I've heard it's one of those smells that you never forget, as it makes your eyes water...

But hey, if it means more power...I'm all for it!

Well you folks sure have some great points on this as I thought you would. It is a good thing I don't even like eggs But I do own a C3 that loves gasoline so now I look back to when George W took office and when gas was affordable.Will we ever get a break

When someone sent me that Email I thought well maybe there is some hope, just maybe

Have a good day fellow C3ers
