ummmmm........nothing really just seeing if you all thought it was going to hit 4 a gallon....with in the year? We really cant do anything except when buying a new car demand fuel flex cars but then you have the problem of suppy of E85. So when the the supply hits then you will see fuel flex vehicles on the road.

I know fuel flex isnt the best in the world but i believe its the best short term solution....Besides from what I hear that when you convert a car it will run much better with a turbo if you convert it to fuel flex.

ya baby! do it! Only have to fill up once a month in mine, cost about $25 since you can use the cheap stuff and I can get about 600 miles on a tank.
Slow as all get out, but who cares.

Mass transportation if it's convenient for you.

I used to drive 60mi/day and fill up every 4 days.

Now 50 of the 60mi/day is on the bus. Saves me so much money and I get to sleep and I don't have to worry about those stupid drivers on the road and I don't have to worry about getting a ticket for speeding.

Some would say that the windows down would cause more aerodynamic drag than the parasitic drag of the AC compressor. I dunno.

Yes, windows down and going fast will burn more gas than windows up. More speed more drag.
