Waldo, we should all fill up in Caracas or second best in Riyadh.

Frank, you all could drive out here and fill up.

Average in Denver today is $3.06 with the lowest at $2.86.

With gas prices so high in the rest of the world, that certainly means that gas in the USA will have to more than double or even triple or quadruple before an alternative source of energy can be anywhere near cost effective to develop and probably not even then. People are pipe dreaming when they speak of an alternative energy, including electric, as being viable.

Waldo, I think the best alternate energy source is CNG. We have massive Natural Gas reserves in this country. We have enough oil reserves to reduce our dependence on Foreign oil substantially, we just need to develop it. Also we need to penalize people that drive big gas guzzlers. Every person on my block has a big gas guzzling V-8 pickup they drive to work, I have the only 6 cylinder pickup on the block.

A few years ago, Iceland was going big for natural gas for automobiles, but I dont know what ever became of that effort. Or, maybe it was hydrogen, I cannot recall.

Tulsa has switched to CNG on Buses and Trash Trucks and is planning on switching more. In west Texas lots of the field people ran their pickups on CNG. CNG is cheap, plentiful, cleanburning and safe.

Yeah it is but you can't get it out here unfortunately and the conversion kits aren't cheap
I'm looking at producer gas to burn in my truck.
