so if I put straight gas in my 95 f-150 it will go from a best of 14-15 to 21 mpg, yeah right! I have run from 100% gas to 10% to 50% E85 and it doesn't vary much, as for feeding ddg's several of my neighbors mix it with ground hay and corn silage with excellent results cats and dogs also eat it saving on dog/cat food! How many options do we have for fueling int. combustion engines? gasoline, diesel, lpg, cng and hydrogen are currently the only options that I am aware of. Ethanol can be used as supplement to stretch gas. Ethanol was blamed for high corn prices, corn is at $3.00 now and we are still producing/ consuming ethanol, explain this. It was speculator driven. Maybe we could all get steam powered cars, it would suck to get up at 4am Sunday morn. to get the fire started so as to get the family to church on time! We need a diversified energy profile which includes alt. fuels, nuke, coal and wind. No individual source can do it. Wind for example has a production capacity of around 40 % due to varying winds, how do I know? I have climbed and repaired/maintained more wind turbines than many of you have seen. Domestic energy money stays here in the US, isn't that worth something? It is to me!

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
