You realize that water (bottled) is more expensive than gasoline? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Tell me Scootergptx, you DIDNT stay in a Holiday Inn express last night did you?
Well yea, but I swear I left her a 20 on the nightstand. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Are you sure thats not the only thing you left on the nightstand? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I knoew this will sound strange comeing from me, but this topic actually turned into a good discussion on fuels and alternatives that may or not be feesible. Why are we pushing back for a political debate that will do nothing more then ruffle everyones feathers. Come on let's keep this going, but in a good way. Even my "sadistic" wants can take a back seat in this one...

i keep telling my wife its not flammable but then she ask me if it ads oxygen to the motor and makes it ignite alot harder and quicker then what do you think its gonna do to you when the 110 catches on fire and the nitrous hose breaks or something , your gonna burn up that much faster. as long as she keeps getting mt bottles filled up im not gonna argue. and as far as clinton how many of you can get a chick to puff on a cigar threw her private parts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Boy are you feeling ok today...I am not sure who is talking under your name. That sure did not sound like something you would say[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

No he is right though..This is a very interesting topic going on..And everyone is posting some great thoughts. Here is one mmore for you though. If you really don't think the oil companies are making more money think about this. Chevron posted like a 4 million profit in the first quater. That is a 40% increase from two years ago. Heard that on the news this morning. And they are not making much money.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have to agree.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Political drive-by's from either side are tedius. I would like to hear a well thought out connection between Bush and the oil companies that has resulted in higher gas prices................with some evidence to back it up, of course. Don't be political hacks with no accountability to your comments. Make the case based on facts.

Record profits? Who cares. Remember the $0.09 per gallon in profits? Remember the $0.50 per gallon in taxes? Why aren't you attacking the government for how much they are taking. The oil companies are pocketing less than 20% of what the government takes and they are distibuting those profits to people like you and me. These are public companies. All you have to do is buy stock and you get your share of those record profits.

Was this what you were after Brent?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]........Don't worry I got your back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

In theory, you'd have to already have a fire burning above 450 degrees with the nitrous line on and broken and you sitting in the middle of it. If you wait long enough, then the nitrous oxide molecules will separate into two oxygen molecules and one nitrogen molecule. Then, if you (ahem) didnt stay in a holiday inn express last night, and were stupid enough to stay on your machine, you would go from well cooked to extra crispy.

Maybe your wife should be worried ... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

By the way, we often have demonstrations here at the shop, we blow out fires with Nitrous all the time!

I too work in the heart of the oil industry and can tell you first hand the oil companies are bringing home the bacon right now....all the rates on rental equipment, helicopters, boats, trucks have increased dramaticaly within the last 6 months...but the dispatchers rates havent increased at all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]...oh this was about gas prices wasnt it...I better get back on subject, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

On a more serious note, the only people this is really affecting is US. ME AND YOU. Working class America. You think a CEO or top Exec even thinks twice about paying $5 per gallon for gas? I dont think so. He is grinning all the way to the bank. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
