Gas prices have gone down...a bit

Hi all! Well, gas prices have come down a bit over the past 2 weeks or so. Funny how that works. My theory is that they will climb again soon. The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and people will be driving around to see the fireworks, have cookouts, and be with their friend and family. I'm sure the gas stations will be busy with all the traveling going on. The sodas will sell, as will water, beer, and juices and sports drinks. Some of these companies will no doubt try to sell gas gift cards, or offer special deals on gas credit cards. I'm not falling for that gimmick...(again).

As some of you know, I'm pushing ethanol. It sure is funny how the cost to the consumer isn't mentioned anywhere these days. Several years ago, it was projected that it would cost us $1.80 a gallon for ethanol as fuel. Well, the last price I saw for gasoline was $2.95, here in Ohio. I wouldn't mind saving that $1.15 a gallon, even though my mileage would only be about 80% as good. Let's see, 120 % of $1.80 is $2.16 for comparable mileage. I think I could live with paying $2.16 a gallon, what about you? Well, maybe I should just buy my own gas station. They are very lucrative, you know. They make money from food, cigarettes, and beverages on top of the fuel. Yes, maybe that's what some of us need to do. Then we can screw over the little guys...Oh...and don't forget your gas card!

I'm just kidding about that, as you should know. Well, that's all for now.

Bye
