I went out to straighten up my garage and moved my snowblower and ice auger to make room for my 2 lawnmowers and my gas powered weed eater. I put them in the corner with my generator and chainsaw, then I moved my 4 wheeler over by my out board boat motor so I can get my America out. I've got to squeeze that out between my wifes car and my truck. Then I realized just how addicted I personally am to fossil feuls. Next I went to get gas in my truck and payed $3.81 for regular grade gas. DRILL BABY DRILL

Yeah Joe, that's 'cause they're still usin' 20 mule teams to deliver gas out there to Death Valley!
(...and contrary to popular opinion, those mules ain't cheap to maintain...especially 20 of 'em!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

A couple years ago I was driving through Iowas and noticed that the mid grade was cheaper than the regular unleaded. I assume that was because the octane was raised with methanol.

Yep Ryk. Ronnie hosted "Death Valley Days" sponsored by The Borax Co. back in the late 50s and early 60s. Here's "Rawhide" himself(the Secret Service's code name for him) pushing a couple of Borax's products back then.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnZaq7E4HOE
