It better not cause i love driving my car. I would be really pissed. How much would that be a gallon like what 9 bucks that would blow.

[Jakey]

As long as the price per barrel/price per gallon ratio remains constant and based off of $2.15/gallon gas (what super unleaded, 89 octane, currently is in Ames), super unleaded would be $8.31/gallon.

That Blows! Our DSM driving days will soon be over. Time for the Hybrids. Maybe we should start investing more money into performance part for those hyrbid cars. hahahaha, funny idea huh?

The cost of oil is not helping the heating cost of my house! At least it a warm winter.

How hard would it be to take the engine and tranny out of a 1G, and attach an electric motor to each one of the hubs (where the axles would have gone)

that would leave us with a light electric AWD car

as for a power plant, how about one of JETs corn burning furnaces modified to boil water with the corn.

Steam>turbine>alternator>electricity>

a cost effective method of transportation, not really a DSM anymore, but it will look and feel somewhat similiar

If it does, I can tell you I will be out of a job Jakey.

You mean to say the already struggling airline industry couldn't handle that drastic of a jump in fuel prices? :rolleyes:
