<P>[quote user="rvos1979"]<FONT face=Arial>NBC 15 in Madison recently did a test of straight gas vs. E10 in a stock Ford F250, the results were quite surprising in that the truck used less E10 than straight gasoline. The testing body did point out that this could vary from vehicle to vehicle.</FONT>[/quote]</P> <P>I certainly don't have all the answers, I am not sure I have even one of them. However, the point of my railfanning and high gas prices threads have been to encourage discussion and seek to encourage use and developement of alternative methods of energy NOT just to complain about the high prices of gas. Two years ago when I introduced the first high price gas thread several people had to jump in and start other high price gas threads. Last year the same thing happened, just as now it is happening again. I am not sure what purpose having multiple threads on the same issue accomplishes, other than robbing post and comments from the original thread.</P> <P>High gas prices are here to stay. That is what the oil companies wanted, and that is what they are getting. Back in 2004 I posted about the $3 a gallon mark that was coming, and it certainly did. In the same post I also pointed out that the next target the oil companies were headed for was $5 a gallon. I don't think we will see $5 a gallon this year. However, I certainly think we might see $4 a gallon before the summer driving season is over. It might be short lived, but I think we might see it. Any bad weather in the Gulf will certainly help bring about the $4 a gallon mark just as Kitrina did for the $3 a gallon price. </P> <P>Next summer, Katy bar the door. Who knows at this point. </P> <P>Now my question to you forum members is this. What are you doing to help converse gas/oil? What are you doing to help encourage alternative methods of energy? </P> <P>In the next few days I will rehash some of the things the railroads are doing to conserve fuel. My railfanning and high gas price threads are and were more than just complaints, they are/were means of educating the forum member on these topics. We can all certainly learn together.
