    Well, the conversion costs money and business passes all costs including taxes on to the consumer. So, I guess voting for environmentalists who changed the regulations on gasoline costs us money.

    Just remember, the oil companies get about 4 cents per gallon in profit, the feds get 18 cents and Colorado gets 22 cents so the government makes 10 times as much on a gallon of gas as the company that recovers, processes, and delivers that gallon. Who is ripping us off, the oil company or the goddamn government?

    Winter diesel usually is. I believe regular gas goes down. They flip flop in summer (Usually).

    I'll just add this to my list of things to stop worrying about since I can't do anything about it anyway.

    I do wish they'd tax contrails (air fracking!) though.

    But Chemtrails is a government program, so they obviously couldn't tax themselves...

    We'll just have to see what Erin Brocovich has to say about that. I also heard that the EPA was trying to get the air space over Greeley classified as a Super Fund site...

    Speaking of silver and gold... wtf? Does anyone actually believe silver and gold will get back up to where they were just 2-3 years ago?
