I noticed that our prices went up 2 cents a gallon about 3 days ago. Now we are at $2.81 for regular unleaded and $3.01 for premium unleaded. I have a feeling this time it won't drop like it did last time. I think we are stuck at this price or even more for the rest of the summer. Does anyone know if the gas reserves that were promised to be released have been released ??? [?] I would think if they have that our price would have come down some. Now for the next question and answer. Are there any problems with ethanol? Oh, yes. Ethanol can't travel in pipelines along with gasoline, because it picks up excess water and impurities. As a result, ethanol needs to be transported by trucks, trains, or barges, which is more expensive and complicated than sending it down a pipeline. As refiners switched to ethanol this spring, the change in transport needs has likely contributed to the rise in gas prices. Some experts argue that the U. S. doesn't have adequate infrastructure for wide ethanol use. Also, ethanol contains less energy than gas. That means drivers have to make more frequent trips to the pump.
