3.50 per gallon of 85 octane for my jeep. I dont like paying it no one does but there is no real option right now. Once Lybia and other situations settle down they will go down again. I just did a research paper on alternative fuel vehicles. The Earth has 25-40 years of oil left if you follow growth trends. The reason we cant and wont drill the oil here is two fold. 1.) We will distory our landscape if we drill for oil and 2.) People want too much money, and the oil drilled here would cost more then it costs to import it from the middle east.
Even if we began using Hydrogen powered cars we still won't be free from fossil fuels because the cheapest and most cost effective way to get hydrogen itself is called "Steam Reforming" which in short uses high tempature steam to seperate hydrogen atoms from Methane or Natural gas, the other way is electrolysis which costs 10x more costly and is basically, once again in short, a postive and negative electrods in water where the two parts hydrogen of H2o gathers on Negative and one part oxygen gathers on Positive. Which seems all well and good but basic principle that you cannot create energy so the energry you are using in your hydrogen powered car is the same energy you put into the the water you used to convert it.

Sorry for the long post but I am bored and putting off my History paper

I can type more if wanted just lemme know
