Domestic oil production is at its highest level in eight years. According to the AP, if drilling dictated gas prices, they should already be at the $2 Republicans promise. However, gas prices fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including speculation and tensions in the Middle East.

I'm a conservative but I found this article interesting.

In fact, there is no reference to ethanol what so ever in the original posters posting. I've requested this topic be moved to the politics or gas forum. Shockjock1961, Based upon the information at hand, I would have to agree with krzysiek_ck's comment. You are changing the subject since there is no reference to ethanol in this topic what so ever." You two crack me up. [Edited by: gamechanger2011 at 3/26/2012 5:40:49 PM EST]

In fact, there is noting in the article pertaining to ethanol, nor is there anything pertaining to ethanol in the original posters message. In light of this, I have asked that this be moved to a section more appropriate to gasoline or politics. This was posted on this Topic: How OPEC profit is used to harm And I posted this response to your conversation:"In light of these realities, U.S. energy policy for the last three decades has been a scandal. The time has come for change. To liberate ourselves from the threat of foreign economic domination, to destroy the economic power of the terrorists’ financiers, and to give ourselves the free hand necessary to deal forcefully with them, we must devalue their resources and increase the value of our own. We can do this by taking the world off the petroleum standard and putting it on an alcohol standard." Putting it on a what "an alcohol standard". If you two need anymore "splainin"....just let me know. I will be happy to help! [Edited by: gamechanger2011 at 3/26/2012 5:34:24 PM EST]

What is the reference to "you two", I think I am the only one questioning the legitimacy of this topic in the category "all things ethanol"...Your link was bad, and though I could probably fix it (odd that it was from chicago gas buddy and looked like it might be on a mobile device), I thought best to leave weel enough alone... Plus my link was referencing the news article from ap from an acceptable news source...
