I'm going out tonight....personally I take it as a good omen.

Is 65.778 litres your lucky number or something?

Yeah......

Gas is pretty inexpensive in Canadialand. Aren't there almost four gallons in a liter?

According to my conversion app, there are 3.78 liters in a US gallon. So gas here is $3.96 per gallon.

Eh, that's in the ballpark.

I think the last I saw it was like $3.20 or so a gallon here. More if you get decent gas and not that 87 octane shit.

The crappy part.... that gas is extracted and refined no more than 100km from my house.

We grow some of our gas in corn fields. I mean, not locally, I think, because I don't live in the farmy part of the US, but in general...

How about that?

Yeah but doesn't ethanol cost more to produce than they sell it for? Or maybe thats it costs twice as much as gasoline...something like that anyway.

Yes, and it's less efficient by like 25% or so, and it's also more corrosive to engines and pipes and shit.

But, on the bright side, we get to burn up potential food in our vehicles!

It would cost significantly more than gasoline (for the US, at least) if it weren't for very large government subsidies for the ethanol producers.

People starving and we're making super expensive, inefficient fuel out of food. Yeah...that seems about right.

Well, that's only half the picture

The other half is that the United States (and Europe, to a lesser extent) is actively exporting inflation in their policy responses to the financial crisis of two years ago. Inflation is bad but kind of ok for advanced economies. It's a bit more devastating in areas that have a large portion of their populace living just above the subsistence level. Like Tunisia and Egypt, for example. Hungry people tend to get angry.

So, the food that they have access to, that isn't being burned up in vehicles, is becoming so expensive that they can't afford it anyway.

Good times.

Things were easier when we had quarts instead of liters. No conversion needed.
Say, do you know what's gra(e)y and comes in quarts?





An elephant!

btw...what did you mean - My gasoline machine called it too?? I'm a little sleepy and I just don't get it. lol
