#1 The other question is, how much damage will higher petro prices do to an already shaky economy?

#2 Much I think. They tend to be the canary in the coal mine and with the pack of yahoos we have in DC these days we won't even be able to count on the silver line of a strong domestic energy boom.

#3 Gee. If we had started drilling a year and a half ago, we'd be halfway there by now.

#5 The big question is what gasoline is going to go up to?

When it's over $3/gal, I start adding a few ounces of pure acetone, which improves my mileage, despite what others say.

Then, when it's over $4/gal, I just use the economy car and break out the storage gasoline bought when the price was low. Along with the acetone.

Over $5/gal, a break out the torches and pitchforks and join the mob heading for Washington.

#6 Acetone, 'Moose? Does it mess up your filters or seals or anything?
