I heard the real killing is made by the refineries as they've not built any new ones in about 20-30 yrs . . . so they've got a monopoly . . . so I've heard.

I think they (oil companies/refineries) are getting even with the environmental extremist who tried to stall oil production back in the 60s/70s. Unfortunately, we get stuck with the fallout from the battle.

Probably . . . . I don't want to screw the environment either, but I've heard that spill management has come a long ways since the Valdez spill. One of the dad's on my son's soccer team works for a company that owns some wells off the Texas and Louisiana coast. I asked about there being so few spills reported these days and he told me that they still have lots of them. It's just that the clean up is so much better it never makes the beachs . . so not news worthy anymore. He said there we a lot of 'Spill-onairs' create by the need for clean up technology.

Now if we can just get California to do some off shore drilling we'd be set for a few more years . . . but we need some of the tax profits from oil companies going toward research. . . . yeah, right.

Here's one of the diesel vs gas comparisons I came across . . it was old, but that makes it promising.

Only .4 tenths diff 0-60.

Well on the topic of alternative energy, back when i was doing my senior project for highschool, i remember that BMW came up with some sort of lithium compound that was already in place at certain airports in germany. the tank was virtually indestructable and had promising numbers

Thanks Glenn.

Got the new T1Rs on today...imo rides better than the S03s. The car got checked out today and everything was in working order. All I needed was to replace the plastic engine cover. Cleaned up the car while on the lift and got an oil change while I was there.

I guess I was lucky since nothing major was damaged...at least it's over and done with.

That one would be a little tricky and maybe a bit beyond my photochop skills. I would have to charge by the hour. I may give it a try... no promises...

Not trying to rag on you, but seriously jatt, please keep the WCM4 meet thread on topic and focused on signing people up and quit posting garbage. People may choose not to go if they see a bunch of crap in the thread. And we have just a little over two weeks to get people signed up. peace!!
