Yes, I have experienced a drop in mileage, and it's worse
than 1 MPG--more like 5 MPG.  My car (an 84 Fiero which I
tuned up 3 months ago) is coughing and sputtering and can
barely make it up hills.  I'm going to work on it this 
weekend to see if a new gas filter helps (and of course check
all the other usual stuff) but I'm certainly not impressed
with the new methanol gas so far.  I've gotta be spewing out
more pollutants than I was a month ago.

	No more taxes should be raised NO matter what;
they are too high at both the State and the Federal level.
They should instead start by cutting spending and programs.
	Too many people have become irresponsible by becomming
dependant on government programs, they need to start taking responsibility

From a friend's discussion with the local oil companies, you'll have to go
farther than that.  They told him that the entire states of Washington and
Oregon are now provided gasahol... it wasn't cost-productive to mix up
separate gas and control separate shipments.

Now the big news:  D'you wonder why Washington and Oregon get ethanol when
most other states get MTBE?

Simple:  WA and OR give tax breaks for adding alcohol to the gas, and have
the coolish climate that mitigates the vapor lock problem.  MTBE is
actually easier to handle and gives less car problems.

Now imagine... every drop of car gas in the entire state has alcohol in it,
and represents a loss in tax revenue.  Do you think the powers-that-be in
Olympia have worked THAT into the budget?

No.  Even unleaded gas has lubricants that are essential for the

You'll have to go farther than that.  I buy my gas at a station/mom
'n' pop grocery 1/4 mile from my house on the Peninsula.  They have a
250 gallon tank.  They have to sell gasohol, too.  You'd have to

There is precious little lead in "leaded" gas nowadays, and it will
soon be illegal anyway.  I doubt if it would harm a catalytic
converter unless used over tens of thousands of miles, but I'd bet
there's ethanol in that, too.

The Asarco smelter stack, Ruston.  Would cost countless tens of millions
to make a freestanding masonry tower 600 feet tall today.  Amazing
piece of handiwork.  Quite impressive up close with the huge arched
flues forty feet high at the base.  It sits on a bluff all by iteslf now,
although much of the smelter still remains by the water.  See it while
you still can.  It *should* be cleaned up and have an observation deck
put on top.  Soon to be blown up.  I guess that makes it performance art.
