Comments on: gas hits record high in tampa bay http://sticksoffire.com/2008/04/24/gas-hits-record-high-in-tampa-bay/ A very loose interpretation of the news and happenings in and around Tampa Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:40:43 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Obvious http://sticksoffire.com/2008/04/24/gas-hits-record-high-in-tampa-bay/comment-page-1/#comment-201440 Obvious Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:08:16 +0000 http://sticksoffire.com/2008/04/24/gas-hits-record-high-in-tampa-bay/#comment-201440 If we nationalized the oil industry and then exported a small amount of refined petroleum we could join OPEC. This is where we need to start -- the government should control the price not a bunch of people playing the 'futures' market. It would be so much cheaper and stable if we were to do that. NO ONE should profit from petroleum. Also -- we need to exploit the shale oil reserves we have in the rockies. So many options, but so little time....I wish the VP office would get their nose out of the Department of Energy and stop with this nonsense regarding the strategic oil reserve.

The E10 stations will give you several percent less in fuel economy, usually at the same price as neighboring stations. the site mentioned here does not note if prices are ethanol or gasoline.
