OT: I read the news today, oh boy..

US petrol prices rose to USD 4.05/gallon!! So thats about £2.00 in real money compared with about £5.00 in the UK. George Dubya was at no. 10 today. Bet he was asking our George for a sub. Saudis came through and upped production. They are afraid we will all decide to run on chip fat. They are right to be afraid. We have 1000's of litres of rancid oil in the back yard-we have been saving it for just such an occasion. But its only available to close friends or anyone who knows the whereabouts of James2 and wishes to annoint him

Reminds me of the Lennon/McCartney song "A day in the life". Was it intentional?

Yes it was intentional. Nice to know you got it I think we are all in danger of taking ourselves too seriously sometimes

Cruising through Europe and the price differences are amazing,€1.55 in north,much the same in Germany,€1.34 in Nevers(pre-GP?),€1.22 in Andorra, two cans in boot so should last a while! The shock is lube and Dextron which have climbed 86% in two weeks,unless you buy in bulk then the price dumps.

almost enough to motivate a man to move toward the soul-less. Just gotta get some hydrogen stations set up. What are the odds bmw turns there attention this way rather than focusing on fabric wrapped morphing cars?

In Maryland (the part close to DC) gas is running around 4.50, give or take 15 cents. In California, where I'm going for college in two months, gas is topping 5 dollars/gallon. I feel like that fabric shell would save a fair amount of weight.. more efficient if it can stay rigid enough maybe? Throw in the hydrogen drivetrain..

btw, is hydrogen combustion dead? Its not that efficient but sure beats buzzing around in electric cars
