Jay, maybe one of your friendly Iowa neighbors who wanted to screw you for buzzing his house with your noisy airplane
raised the prices by 90%, but 22% was the average in the state of Iowa. On 9/1, the average price of a gallon of
unleaded regular gasoline in Iowa was $2.47. It peaked at $3.03 and fell back to $2.61.

The US DOE and EPA has a site that reports gasoline prices in the US. We found it very useful putting together a trip
earlier this year.

Which is exactly why ethanol is being phased in as a fuel source in this country. Has anyone been watching Brazil?
Apparently they have reduced their dependence on foreign oil to something less than 50% of their total consumption by
going over to alcohol, in some cases running 100%. The ethanol is pumped right alongside the gasoline. They make it from
sugar cane, very effective....
