uffah, sign me up, I can make lotsa methane

I was just listening to the radio, unreal... they say the recent increase in cost, is partially due to the refineries swithing out the MTBE to Ethanol... ... something about a mandatory 85% gas 15% ethanol mix having to hit the pumps soon.. and we pay more for it...

METHANE... sounds like the way to "go" for sure.

Except that MTBE has been illegal in NY and Cal---two of the biggest gas consuming states---for years. 10% ethanol has been the law in those states. Maybe now they can't use the excuse of "well, we have to refine all of these different blends for different regions" any more. Sure they can't

Gotta love an industry that tries to recoup added costs before they incur them.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Can't understand how they can charge us to take MTBE's out of the gasoline. They should have never put it in in the first place. Like they charged us extra when the first came out with UNLEADED. Their the ones that put in the LEAD in the first place to stop knocking!!!
