How low will it go?
 

Well since no one has posted what is everyone's thoughts on gas pricing finally coming back to its true value after trashing the economy.

i love boost and zc's, but i really hope someone comes out with a feasible alternative, and those rag headed fucks go back to the stone age and drown in their ------- oil.

Idk but I. Just paid $1.62 for a gallon of regular here in North Carolina.

Re: How low will it go?
 

Depending on how the rest of the economy goes.. under a buck.

Re: How low will it go?
 

it's at $1.52 for reg, here in fargo, nd.

and e-85 is only $1.42 super cheap.

It's crazy... just a little bit ago I was considering building a still and producing my own sugar alcohol at $42 per 100lb bag. Each 100lb bag makes approximately 10gal of usable alcohol/water mix, so that's $4.20 per gallon. I think that's really why gas will never get above that number in the US as long as sugar remains constant (as it has over the past 80 years). Now this ---- happens and it's totally impractical to do that. Just think if you bought sugar by the silo load at $.30 or less per lb.. you would be rolling in ethanol.

Re: How low will it go?
 

$.30 a pound is still $3 per gallon. still not practical especially considering you get less miles to the gallon with ethanol fuel. gas would need to be $6 gallon for that to be worthwhile.

You get half the fuel mileage out of ethanol? I was just thinking ahead, if it gets really bad like people are expecting or if the ---- here gets like Europe.

Also, consider the other things about ethanol/water as a fuel... high octane, nice cooling, etc. Comparing $4/gal 87 octane to $4/gal ethanol 110 octane isn't really fair. It's something I've been thinking about a lot though.

Re: How low will it go?
 

no not half. but converting a car to run on ethanol? how practical is that. incase you havent noticed not every car in the world has an OBD1 conversion with a p28 and crome that they can just load up an ethanol based map for. how many companys/model cars actually have the ability to run on ethanol fuels? not many i bet. ethanol is not the answer.

i want a car that runs on urine.

Re: How low will it go?
 

If gas gets out of hand, for my car ethanol will be the answer. I was talking about making my own ethanol for my own use.
