The price for gasoline hasnt really moved much. I thought it would go down a bit more, but it remains around the same. How much left is in the reserve?

I had heard that it was basically drained. He's supposed to refill it, but I don't see that happening until after the election.
As far as gas prices at the pump, it seems like they go up a lot faster than they come back down, but that's just my experience.

Yeah, I pay about 4$ for premium gas now. Total waste of money, I think.

Have you tried dollar-cost averaging your gas?
It saves a little money, over the long-term.

No, I should probably just use the cheap gas instead. But I dont use that much gas to begin with, so its not the end of the world. I drive an older car, the ethanol gas sucks. You can hear and feel the difference.

Its total horse shit. Instead of making us use ethanol, design engines so they run a bit cleaner.

But that doesn't give corn farmers unearned profits, which doesn't earn politicians their votes.

I dont think corn farmers actually make money with ethanol. They grow the corn, but the profit comes later for the people who process it.
