> [@Eldros](#): > > it’s just normal business cycles guys. It’s always more expensive during summer and cheaper during winter. same thing with the stock market too. They put gas and stocks on sale in winter because they make great stocking stuffers. 🙂 But hey, I’m grateful for the gas thing. I used to love driving around and exploring, but for the past few years doing so has felt repressive. I hope I see it go down here in California, too. ---

It’s always more expensive during summer and cheaper during winter. same thing with the stock market too. True prices fall in the fall but not typically $1.50 a gallon It sucks, Diesel prices are only down $0.50 > [@Jasmin](#): > > They put gas and stocks on sale in winter because they make great stocking stuffers. 🙂 > > But hey, I’m grateful for the gas thing. I used to love driving around and exploring, but for the past few years doing so has felt repressive. I hope I see it go down here in California, too. I like drives in the country, and still take them when I can, at 45-50MPG I can still do it in my car, and the twisty back roads are so much fun this time of year… 😃 BTW- you can put some Androtics stocks in my stocking… 😃 ---

Back in the late '70’s the government had funded a program to make gas out of coal. The program was ready to go commercial in 1980 when Ronald Ray Gun became President and killed the program. Just think how independent of foreign oil we would be today if the program hadn’t been killed. ---

Just think how independent of foreign oil we would be today if the program hadn’t been killed. Actually there are a couple of companies that do Coal Dieselifacation and Coal gasification The diesel is nasty stuff, cokes my car’s intake and is really terrible running sludge. I have run some from time to time without realizing it. ---
