[Shotimes] Gas

The other thing is that you don't need as much octane at higher altitudes. We noticed this driving west along I-80 last summer for the Convention. I gassed up with 85 in western Nebraska and Wyoming, and the car was fine. In fact Kirk got the 87 "mid-grade", and he had the vapor lock problem a few miles down the road (not really sure that it was related....but the 87 was 10% ethanol).
 
I agree on Alaska. The tree-huggers show file pics of an uninhabited area, and the pics of the drilling area are populated with metal quonset huts. Our drilling sites (like the one I'm sitting at now) are maybe two acres, and once production starts, only an acre is needed to feed the pipeline.

Thats nice and all, but when you live in a state which
excells at putting out 85.5 for the cheap stuff...you
usually have to buy Unleaded Plus (which is at 88).

"At current prices, some of these folks with multiple
SUV's parked in the driveway, monthly gas bills must
be like mortgage payments :)"

Yeah. Got that right. I guess per month its not so
bad. I usually spend about $30 more (a tank) a month
on gas in my jeep then in the SHO. Which could equal
$360 by the end of the year. Sigh...now I'm really
starting to get depressed.

"Drill Alaska baby"

Damn straight. ;-)
