You know what I hate about the crazy high prices ($4.54 per gallon) in Canada? The situation in the Gulf of Mexico should have little to no effect on us, we get our own oil, mostly off of our East coast or in the Alberta/Saskatchewan tar sands.... And most of our oil still goes to the United States.
You know what, honest to fucking god... we DO need to do that.
It pisses me off so much. We don't fucking need oil. I get so frustrated with this shit. I don't know what scientists are thinking. If they created a car that ran on something like that and found a way to make it marketable and such, they should be winning a nobel prize.
Well, if the environmentalist would let us drill Alaska we wouldn't have any problems, because supposedly that's more abundant than the Midde East. And if we could get a pipeline or something in Siberia I hear there are oil reserves there too. $2.99 today, jumped up 46 cents from Tuesday.
Rigs can drill sideways, too. Drill in from outside.
As for alternative power cars, there have been plenty of viable ones over the years, but the problem is that no matter how affordable they were, noone wanted to buy them. Now that gas prices are rising so fast, the makers don't make them fast enough to keep up with the demand.
on long island was 3.97, 4.09, 4.32. It cost my mom 100 dollars to fill up her navigator and i heard its only going to go up. I also heard people in atlanta are paying 6, 6.32, 6.78. But thats a rumor i think, and i hope

My dad was telling me about it being 5 dollars a gallon in ATL.

Bioethanol.
Use acres of fields to grow wheat and such, and you can use the bioethanol produced to power your car. The great thing is the CO2 emissions are less than what the growing wheat and plants actually take in, so you've effectively got a fuel that doesn't harm the environment in any way.
A British company called "British Sugar" is engaging in a pioneering project to develop UK-based bioethanol. The bioethanol can be produced from UK-gorwn Sugar Beet and Wheat.
The bioethanol is mixed in with the petrol and reduces the CO2 emissions by 50%.
And the great thing is, it's compatible with cars. It won't destroy the engines. A 5% use of bioethanol in the UK would give the equivalent carbon savings to taking 1 million cars off the road.
