Do what?
A barrel of oil is 42 gallons I think. $200 crude would cost $4.75 a gallon before it is refined if my arithmetic is right. Sometimes I get fouled up figuring like the time I said a 1 inch rain on an acre was 1 million gallons when I meant 40 acres. One of our observant members straightened me out with a private message. How embarrassing.

Anyway if it starts out at $4.75 a gallon I wonder what the gas and diesel will cost per gallon.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
