Great advice! Do some on line research, open a Etrade or Scott Trade account and buy some oil stock. USO (United States Oil Fund ETF) is what I have owned and recently bought back into. In April of 2007 I bought it for $50/share. Sold ½ in July 2008 for $100/share and the other ½ in October for $70/share. Last week I bought it back for $30/ share and today it is $35/share. If you believe that OPEC production cut or next years hurricanes will effect oil prices, take advantage and make some money. Don’t consider this writing as advice. DO YOUR OWN REASEARCH. Hopefully your next Yaris will be paid for in cash.

Nahhh..... I'd rather see local communities and groups do work on alternative energy, creating a system that works and which could be applied by other people.
Letting the government run things seems tempting but usually leads to problems, not the least of which that good technical and scientific choices get passed over for political considerations. Putting it into the hands of industry is not always the best way either, since sometimes business people make stupid decisions. I'd rather see smaller businesses doing their bit with it in concert with local communities. Communities that develop alternative energy, and can live with it, seem to me to be the best long term solution. For example, Ithaca New York has done some work with heat ponds. Gene |

Don't know if the Media controls the world or not, but they sure do dumb people down. The garbage on TV is on the level of gradeschool in terms of logic, perception and subtlety of thought.
Turning off the TV is usually good advice. Gene |

gas prices in Alaska have been rising slightly. but our RUG price has not fallen below $2.30. the state government discovered that since Alaska has only 2 refiners, they seem to be price fixing.
but i am ready for a price increase. before i had this Yaris, i had a diesel volkswagen, i was used to paying $3.50 plus for diesel. mid summer diesel was over $5.40 a gallon. |

i buy at shell gas statons.its a good job they have nothing to do with exxon-mobil. the amount of time spent looking then digging, transporting, refining at a dollor and change it is pretty cheap considering all the taxes added in to that cost the petrol itself doesnt really cost that much. and its true that 3 grandes at star@#$!s is a tank full of gas.
