    i agree with scraper. if you take a close look at any gas pump there is a little sticker that says it contains at least 10% ethyl. ethyl is made from corn, a renewable resource. the top dragsters and funny cars all run straight ethyl. surely with all of the men and women that claim to be scientists they can come up with something.
    i'm all for a top fuel ztr

      My minimum has been the same for the last 2 years. In spring, 2 years ago, it used to cost me $26 to $28 for 20 gal. of gas. When gas goes up to $2.75/gal it'll cost $55. I normally have to fill up 2 times a week, and sometimes 3 times a week depending on the work-load that week.

      Now take a look beyond filling up the gas tanks and take into consideration everything else you need to run the business. Every mower, trimmer, blower, truck and trailer part is going to be more expensive. Now take into consideration the rising costs of insurance, office supplies, safety equipment, chemicals. What about uniforms? How about labor costs with the gov't raising the minimum wage? I'm sure most CPA's are going to be charging more for their services as well.

      Now you're trying to tell me that your prices are decreasing this year? Can't wait until you need to replace that ZTR, truck or skid steer. That's when the reality of inflation kicks your butt.
      Boy, you really make things sound bad. Maybe for you they are. 9mpg is terrible.

      I can outfit a 3 man crew for $13000 and that includes the truck. I still net 30% or so after I figure in fuel, new equipment and all of the overhead.

      You know, now that I think of it, high gas prices are probably one of the best things that could happen to the green industry. This will weed out those who are not serious about the business and will reduce those who do not have tight control of their numbers. Let's say that gas hits $5 in the future. How many start up scrubs do you think that we will have? A lot less, that is for sure. Of course, that means more work for the rest of us.

        They already have hybred cars that use less fuel. I could see that technoligy being used on Mowers in the future.

        It took $42 to fill up today 1.97 gallon.

        I don't think Raised gas price will keep scrubs down. They will just raise prices enough to keep going and still make a dime or 2.

          What Garbage

          Jack D, what an awesome article. The more I read the more I hated to read, but that's just because I didn't want to face the harsh reality of what we're going to be facing in the near future. Wow, I never realized how much trouble the world is in.

          For those who haven't read the article please do. It's long, but well worth it.
          For those who didnt read said article, DONT waste your valuable time!!!

          It truly amazies me that anyone can point to any peace of trash article claimeing it is fact...That article was just another liberal leaning bunch of garbage blameing the republicans for everything, be it true problems, or in this case phony ones....

          Considering the moron writeing this crap feels that life as we know it will soon come to an end, he has no problem useing the 3 drops of oil left on the planet to publish ,and distribute said garbage ,lineing his pockets with money,that would be useless if he believes what he actually wrote....



          Couldnt Matt find a picture of a post 70`s gas pump to make it look like he was liveing in the 21st century to begin with???Looks like Matt Savinar has been hideing in a bunker deep below ground somewhere, since carter put us through the last (oil`s all gone )montra and now we get the sequil, and later the trilagy....

          If Author is sure that his facts are correct and in 5 yrs everything will totally collapse due to the ZERO oil supply, what is he expecting to buy in the future stone age from money made from trash,useless books????

          I think in 100-200 yrs when they feel they have drained what they can from the easy accessed areas we presently know and drill from ,scientists will have the technology to start looking at the other 3/4 of the planets surface that is underwater, and author conviently forgot about...

          The author also claims we are in a water supply crisis that leads me, useing his logic, to think the ocean basins will become dry and easily prospected and drilled....He did not explain how the same exact water that has been on the planet Earth since its Birth, is dissappearing in CRISIS proportions, but the article, and books will entertain some if you live in a world of fiction, and makebelieve..I`m looking forward to the day the water receedes enough that i can tour the titanic, and other great ships warships of wwII that presantly lie miles below the surface of "soon to be "misplaced water...

          They`ll be whole new fronties all over the planet to explore thanks to the invisable spaceships that are stealing earths water and someday i hope to thank the alians....

          Are people so easily taken in, and unwilling to research the truth and ignore the garbage????

          sincerely ,TRans .
          GOD BLESS AMERICA (MY HOME SWEET HOME ) !!!!!

            I never stated/claimed every statement in his article to be the absolute truth. I found the article interesting in its capacity to raise awareness. We can't keep running around with the attitude that everything will be ok and we have 100-200 years to fix the problem or find alternatives. Being a pasifist rarely, if ever, produces results.

            As far as blaming republicans, as opposed to blaming the gov't and world leaders in general, seems a little obsurd. To be quite honest I have a hard time differentiating between the democrats and republicans in todays gov't. Seems to me that they're all a bunch of dirt-bags who care more about lining their own pockets than how the American public is doing. Pointing a finger at either is nothing more than pointing a finger at all of them.

            As for researching the truth and being so easily taken in.....hum. I don't see anywhere in your reply links to current research opposing the fact that we're depleating world resources. It's true that nobody should base any view on one or two sources of information, but you're not offering any. I don't believe we're going to be living in the second comming of the dark ages in 5-10 years from now, but who knows about 50? I would just like to know where you came up with 100-200 years. Please enlighten me and everyone else who has to read the garbage you're spewing.

              Jack D. is preparing for the crisis now and will have stockpiled enough gasoline by 2005 to contine burning fuel for many years. With gas and his wenches, Jack D. should enjoy a long and satisfying retirement.

              Here's the key quote from this article for the riff raff to note. “The presidential candidates aren’t going to stand up and say ‘I’ve got bad news.â€Â

                We are not worried about gas for you, so much as FROM you. Now if we are paying $ 3.00 gallon here in the states. Then What would that same gas cost in your home town of Pit Cove, Newfoundland. Please feel free to answer in Canadian dollars, we can all multiply by 3 to find the price in US dollars.

                    You actually have to research

                    You cant tell the differance between the democrats view and the republicans view of whats going on??? If your for real, where have you been for the last decade????

                    Sorry to break the news to you work it ,BUT you have to read and research this for yourself...I`m glad you claim you havent fallen for the point the finger blame game because that is what most of the link site offshoots pointed too...

                    The simple point was i like Jack.D ,because he is quite amuseing but generally anything he points to is usually silly garbage to get attention...My interpretation was that you read through entire article, found it amaseingly insightfull and believed every word as factual truth...I got the impression you would be telling all your friends these facts and planning on moveing to mars or one of the neighbooring planets or moons....

                    I dont consider the BBC,The Alternative Press,The Nation, and Osoma Bin laden .com, good alternatives to the mainstream media...They claim to be the antidote to the mainstream media ,and will tell you the truth based on nothing ,and the only answer to the puzzle is that there isnt any answer..

                    For now i`ll follow the rest of the planet and mainstream media....Above garbage approved by Jack .D with your WOW jack thanks, i will leave to you...

                    If you followed all the absurd links you will find that one claims the current administration is approaching the problem with the "Great Iraq oil adventure "with the emphesis that bush started a war for oil because bin laden planned to hold the U.S hostage and send oil to $300 pr barrel..DID YOU EVEN READ THIS??? is it credable ???? if not why would you read any further and be, "LIKE WOW" Thanks jack. D, you enlightened me!!!

                    What did you find to be the answer ,and how will you approach the doom, and gloom ,and what about those you love????

                    On the same site the Jenvons Paradox theory is explained that no matter what is done in technology to increase efficiency of anything that uses energy/ power, the same item will only be used more ,and more, useing much more fuel than the orriginal non efficient unit....

                    Then a brief defination of the word paradox is given in anticipation that the "general "stupid people liveing in the Fly- over states doesent understand or know the meaning of the word paradox....Seems the author thinks the common man is a idiot quite like most elite democrats who bash, and bash but offer nothing to solve the problems we have....

                    Everything on this site posted by your hero Jack.D "WOW", is a paradox...All the inevitable DOOM and GLOOM is haphazerdly explained , scareing people with no explanation of what can be done to stop it.....Would you like to read some DOOMSDAY sites written buy idiots like this one who insist the earth will be hit buy a global killer meteor or asteroid 100 mi in diamater explaineing life will be gone in the near future,and say there is no escape????

                    The net is full of cookk,s and nuts ,that write garbage and state it is fact...

                    Would you consider buying the book explaineing nothing that would be helpfull because survival would be impossible????

                    They explain that bush is deniaing the truth because he isnt provideing the army with tents, with solar panals as if that is the answer...How many solar pannels will be needed to propel 1, 60 ton M1 ABRAMS TANK????? DID you read that????Did you thoroughly pick through the lunacy???

                    I dout it because you say it is ensightfull but i found reading the entirity to show it as what it is ......."GARBAGE"

                    Thus i dont recomend anyone waste there time...I am not god however, and everyone can do what they want....Luckily for now the power is on, and fuel oil is still available....

                    The entire site is full of the most ludricous observations, that i cant see how anyone with a brain could take it seriously...Have you read the garbage and followed "ALL" the links to the sites i described????

                    Do you think any amount of solar pannals is going to move a 60,000 ton tank??? I surely hope not, but I have a feeling you didnt read the entire story...Perhaps you did and "DO" think soldiers should be carrying solar panals through the desert... Does not make sence to me HOWEVER!!!! and is a stupid idea.............

                    I said not to waste your time because if you cant see the ridiculas bias planted in the site, and eventually find that the big story hidden in the last section is Jenvons Parodox, stateing improveing efficiency only hastens our demise, because of increased use, the only alternative i gleem from the author is to buy said rediculas books , despite knowing their is nothing in the book to help anyone....Remenber the paradox they believe??? anything made more efficient will end up useing more energy thus negateing the initial befefit!!! Whats the answer according to these ideologs???Everything said is a paradox and i cant take that seriously....Perhaps the contents suggest time travel in the book......

                    If you do a search on any search engine you can find many differing views of how much oil is left....I will not leave adresses of any sites includeing those that say more oil is left in the planet than anyone can possibly comprehend..There are just to many views ,and all are based on outdated data....Perhaps if you have time to methodically search entire info on said subject, you can lead a link and fill me in on the latest data,hopefully done withen the past 10 yrs...

                    What i have found is that people have been told over and, over, that oil was going to run out every 10 yrs since the advent of the great oil burning lantern...Around 1910 people were told oil was soon to be depleted..Thats when oil used to bubble to the surface on it own naturally and nobody new any better...Considering more than half the planet is still untouched and not been seen by man the oceans could have many areas where oil at this time is bubbleing out of the surface and nobody has a clue to its existance...

                    When people looking couldnt find it bubbling to the surface someone with a positive attitude drilled a hole 10 feet down, and as you said "WOW" they found more oil,Thank god, Saved again. GOSH GOLLY ,GEE WIZ....

                    When the 10 ft wells were dry, someone went to 20 ft after everyone was told oil was all gone by people who are always around to spew the negative outlook ,instead of stepping back and looking for the solution...

                    Possitve people drilled to 20 ft after being told they were wasteing there time ,WOW Jack.D another miricle , they found more oil.....This same pattern went on every decade with doom and gloom people always scareing the public..at the end usually there was a gosh ,jolly ,gee wiz fellas....where did that come from and that must be the last batch....

                    At presant some deep wells go to 1 mile in depth ,some off the coasts only go a few hundred...Out in the ocean deep explorers have actually found oil leaking out to the oceanwater at ground level just like back in the beginning....

                    MY personal oppinion-
                    People give to much credit to the actual effect they have on this giant planet
                    Considering the sheer size of this planet,people and what they do is very puny "Not even an issue " My meaning here is in scale we are like 1 flea in a heard of 1000 elephants and if the Earth could think it would not be aware we are even here....

                    Considering the earths crust is generally many miles thick, possibly the entire crust is like a sponge filled with oil that has settled out at different depths evenly around the planet...There may be enough oil to last mankind untill the sun explodes...It will have to be looked for ,found and extracted...The flea will have a hard time draineing the elephant of all its blood nevermind the rest of the herd...

                    Thats my personal belief and may be ludricous...Considering i dont see anyone includeing the president stockpileing food, water, fuel and everything he can lay his hands on i think they feel his childrens greatgrand -children are safe...

                    Robert Kennedy jr also seems to have plenty of time that he wastes running around scareing everyone about mercury in fish, and expressing he DOES NOT want windpower being constructed withen 100 mi of his back yard ..Odd that he wants to reduce the anount of oil used...Build alternate energy production engines,but only if it is NOT withen His back door....Perhaps he is the author of this stupid site and crappy your "gonna die books anyway"Books so buy them where its explained nothing can be done....

                    Considering the president, congress,are argueing about real problems the future will bring and how to solve them and the stone age is NOT a issue i will assume there are plans...Also considering kennedy JR travels by aircondidioned limo, and private jet to his leisure homes,plus connections to gov studies, and off the wall doomsday treehuggers, the last thing he`s worried about is oil being unavailable...All his mantions are kept warm in winter, and cool in summer in case he stops buy for a visit..The heated pools and energy used to light the grounds and tennis courts are more then what the average neighborhood uses but there never shut off...

                    When i see this nutjob that wants to tell everyone else how to live uncomfortably while he lives and travels like a king i wont take him serious...He is the typical doom and gloom propagator who spews nonsence and really has no answers except to try to impose everyone to live like peasants while he flys around the world, useing more energy than most small countries...This is repetative but i find the likes of the kennedys to be quite hypocrytical/repulsive, and a total want to be B.S artist

                    Do you remember the great minds that said the end of the world was coming the instant the date clicked from 1999, 23 hr,59 seconds to 2000 ,24 hr,00 sec...Plaines were suppossed to fall from the sky ,computers would crash around the world ,VCR`s wouldnt work and all power plants and nuklear silos would shoot off there missiles because the clock clicked to 2000????

                    How were the so called "great minds" all wrong about everything remotely controlled by the computer going off ,or going crazy???

                    Everyone who listened to this crap and the dummies who wrote there predictions on the net were expecting the end, and every possible horrible scenerio because they wanted to scare people for the same reason here....

                    What was that called again??? Y5 K, YXZ,OH i know the XYZ mellinium bug right????? OHH yea Y 2 K ...Wasnt that the biggest threat to human survival about 5 yrs ago for those who wanted to believe it????

                    I`m sure this same author had a site of doom and gloom on the Y 2 K thing also... does jack.D have any books on this sillyness that people went WOW about and what did those cost???? what was the answer to the problem that "DID NOT" really exist but was hyped buy even the all knowing great minds of the left....

                    Do a google search of "OIL supply"... You will see 1 of 100,000 hits ...Start reading a few that are not from anything shady sounding like killrepublicans.com,or usamacool guy.com and maybe you can find the truth or somthing that sounds actually believable!!!

                          Jack D. has provided a somewhat more credible soarse of information.

                          Did Jack find the other soarse uncredable with its theories of doomsday here tommorrow and 60ton tanks powerred by solar panals???

                          What did Jack .D feel about Jenvons paradox that makeing anything more efficient will lead to more fuel consumption because by some unexplainable freak force it will natureally be used more..

                          Does Jenvons Parodox mean that if i`m moved from a 100 sq ft room to a 200 sq ft room i will instinctivly breath twice as much air without changeing anything else.

                          Thank god i have never entered a room 1000 sq ft, because if everything else remained equal ,somthing invisable will make me breath 10X the volume of air..
                          I also thank god i have been confined to my bubble because according to Jenvons parodox, if i were let out of my home bubble ,and exposed to the large outside atmosphere the invisable force would cause me to breath more air expodentially to the outside inviro and my lungs and body would explode...

                          Did Jack.D realise how silly the thoughts projected in old site actually were and decide to post link to a more believeable soarse of information.???

                          Does Jack.D. concur with Trans that orriginal site was for the gullable ,who feel like giveing up,digging a hole and burrying themselves before the end really comes????

                          Lastly - Has Jack.D aquired any 100000000000000000 killowatt solar panals orriginally designed for powering 60,000 ton, M1 A1 ABRAMS heavy assault tanks, to run 21" mowers in 2025????

                          THE FUTURE- 2025 here we come

                              Mr. Transman, the MSNBC information is the conservative version acceptable to release for the general riff raff without creating mass panic. Please note the similarities.

                                I dont see the similarities when you delve into the facts... Go 1/3 down your advised site ,click and read MORRY ALDERMAN,an MIT professor,and read the entire article... He explains there is no shortage of oil but how the environuts and politics among other things are keeping the oil in the ground ....

                                Quick Peek at article just below the HISTORICAL LOOK AT OIL CHART....May reach site by clicking below....

                                Interesting article that states there is no shortage... Just to many roadblocks getting it to the people.....

                                Thanks for backing me up with the valueable info there Jack.D
                                GOD BLESS AMERICA (MY HOME SWEET HOME ) !!!!!
