Just filled my car with gas

Chevron Regular Unleaded.

I probably will drive my car around a bit until it gets low. Then I might filled it up again, depending on how everything goes.

Gas here is 2.57 for regular unleaded.

I was driving past a Shell station today that was selling premium for $3.07. Crying shame, really.

In Iowa we get state subsidies because our farmers produce ethanol from corn. Owned. Iowa may not be much to look at, but when the shit hits the fan and the California falls in the ocean, everyone is going to want to move here.

More subsidies, lovely. Don't expect much to come from it in this case.

That's per gallon right? Think about having to pay almost that amount (€2,40)... per LITER! :icon23:

At least Iowa farmers aren't contributing to the problem

All I meant was for this to be a parody thread, and look at all the fruitful discussion it brought forth. Thanks a lot, quake3world :icon8:

Farms consume quite a bit of energy. Wouldn't it be unfortunate if that energy was wasted on a likely fruitless pursuit? edit: What problem are you referring to exactly? Pollution? Energy shortages? Government waste? They contribute to all of it.

Where can I find gas that cheap?!

Here in California, it's a full $1.00 more. I had to pay it too, as I was low yesterday.

I hope you filled up your tank with gas, not your car.
