Mid Ga. Gas Prices - Page 3

Up here in Ontario Canada we are currently paying .99 cents per litre, which is roughly $4.50 a gallon. Our gallon is however approx. 20 % larger than the US gal.

As much as I don't like it for transportation, I think the energy solution is this:

1. Build enough nuclear electric power plants and have an excess of electricty.
2. When we have an excess of electricty, dissasociate water into hydrogen and oxygen.
3. Transportation uses hydrogen or electric powered vehicles.

The big issue with nuclear power is spent nuclear waste. I've done some basic calcs, and if ALL of the total energy use from USA were nuclear, it would fill less than 100 tractor trailers per year of waste. I think we can handle this drawback to not be tied to the middle east for oil.

I know it's not racing related, but related to this topic.

Hey Art, welcome to the south. This gas situation is going to have a bearing on a lot of traveling, whether it's racing or just vacations, and it's a shame, there isn't a thing we can do about it.

I'm in Canada too and it's $1.11 for diesel....but only 77.9 for furnace oil...what do you think I use? LOL!

Yeah it has a slight red colour, but have you EVER heard of a pickup getting stopped and the fuel checked?

Me neither.

Here in TEXAS around the cattle auctions the pickups are checked quite often !!!
And I've heard around rodeos the get checked.......very steep fine !!

There are 4 litres in an American gallon =$4.00 per US gallon here in Canada.
You don't get to deduct 20% from the price AND 20% from the volume.
That's it for math 101
