[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 338163, member: 12570"] I was discussing the current gas prices with the manager of a local convenience store and he made an excellent point when he stated that, while the prices indeed are high now, imagine how much higher they may be if there were a "crisis" in the Middle East which severely impacted the supply of oil. This should be a wake-up call that this is the time for serious attention to alternative fuels. I applaud sober in his efforts to use alternative fuels, especially bio-diesel; however, this would not work in my area as there is only one station that offers bio-diesel and the price makes it prohibitive (over $5/gal). Conventional diesel is $4.74/gal and regular unleaded is $3.99 and will surely cross the $4 mark this weekend. Although they are our competitor, I do feel for the Fed Ex ground guys. [/QUOTE]
