Our gas prices are again on the way up. They are currently $2.79 to $2.99 a gallon. The premium grade of unlead is just under $3.00 a gallong so the roller coaster is going back up. <br /> <br />Here is part of a news article I was just reading. <br /> <br /> <br />If the United States is going to end its addiction to oil, the fuel station of the future might look like Pearson Ford Fuel Depot. <br /> <br />Along with gasoline and diesel, the one-of-a-kind station - part of a dealership near busy Interstate 15 - offers a full range of clean-burning alternative fuels from ethanol to propane to BioWillie, a brand of biodiesel made from soybeans and promoted by country music legend Willie Nelson. <br /> <br />The station isn't profitable yet. But co-owner Mike Lewis said that could change if oil prices force consumers to seriously consider other fuels - especially in San Diego, which regularly pays among the nation's highest gas prices. <br /> <br />There are pumps labeled "E85" and "compressed natural gas" along with recharging stations for people with electric cars. <br /> <br />
