" Gas prices expected to rise in 2011 "

Ah well, were they ever expected to fall ? Not in my lifetime ..

Gas prices never reacted to a drop of stocks or larger amounts of resources found, those greedy managers and stock market analysts always raise the price.

One time it was less wells, then it was China buying all crude oil and the last i learned was that the destitute oil industry needed money for investing in modern technologies

But the best was Exxon. They mixed some seed oils in their Diesel for cheaper production but told nobody. When the government recently demanded the mixing with some 10 percent of those oils, Exxon immediately raised the price because the mixing was so "costly"
Messing around with customers has been raised to an art form


I have changed the Diesel engine of our old VW Quantum or Passat to run with pure rape seed oil, which is much cheaper (this is not "BioDiesel" b.t.w.), but needs a few injection and pre-glowing adjustments.
