I think that its good that fuel prices will be in the $2.50-$30 range. More exploration, more alternate sources such as ethanol, more conservation etc. The economy seems to weather gas up to $3 just fine. What we need is the fed to realize that this amounts to a gas tax for americans and stop raising rates now. If gas prices are in this range, yoy inflation shouldnt be a problem at least from an energy standpoint. One more thing--no hurricanes this year. We cant afford another bout with mother nature. $4 energy is a whole different animal.

<<Ethanol shortage could up gas prices>>

That's because the rest of the USA is way behind Central Illinois. We started using it in 1972, had our own plants and met our needs. Now the rest of the nation has figured out that 10% alcohol is better than using something that causes cancer and more plants are now being built.

Couple of things about the 90%/10% blend. No more frozen fuel lines in the winter or water collecting in the gas tank. Ups mileage 2%. 60% less unburned gas coming out of the tailpipe.
