Gas would cost $50 a gallon. inflation would go through the roof. It would ultimately end in total anarchy and the entire destruction of the United States as we know it. You’re the one who wants us to stop using it, to be honest, I don’t really care. I’m trying to teach you something about economics. While there is a cheaper alternative, very few people, if anyone, will switch from the cheapest method, it certainly won’t have an economic impact on a national level. GM, Nissan, Ford, and I’m sure a few others are producing flex fuel vehicles, and E85 is not very popular, despite the corn subsidy. Without the subsidy, E85 wouldn’t be worth trucking around the country. Anyone can make bio-diesel, but if you aren’t getting your oil free from McDonalds, you tell me how much that vegetable oil costs? Economic solution to keep us off of foreign oil? I don’t think so. Necessity is the mother of invention. While cheap oil flows, people will use it, end of story. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gore-wins-nobel-peace-prize/193001)._
