Great post. I have to admit that the cost of gas finally hit me over the weekend when I filled up my PT Cruiser at a discount station to the tune of $40. FORTY DOLLARS to fill up this little thing? Sheesh!

When will it all end? What will it take to drive down the gas prices–we all want to drive our cars. I take the city bus; it’s crazy. To go to the city next door, on the bus, I catch it half a block from my house and I have to ride completely around for an hour; taking the car takes 8 minutes. Public transportation saves us gas, perhaps, but the time factor to go anywhere is positively insane.

Loren, it will be nice if someone made a social media search engine to filter out the Rumors, Flames, and Facts!

Nice, thanks Marcelo! That will come in useful next time I’m in Brazil. It’s pretty cool that Alcol is listed on Guiadasemana.

The US is trying to use Ethynol, a similar technology based on Flex which came out of Brazil, but we’re using corn instead of sugar cane.

Of course by using corn for gas, we’ve inflated the corn market and now there is a corn shortage for food. Corn’s not like Sugar, doesn’t grow like a weed or bamboo :)

Guia da Semana, a “City Search” website is offering this service since last year, using Google Maps.

Are they could just get off their fat asses and walk.

It is bizarre to see people in their 20s and 30s driving a few blocks to a store or even in some areas, driving a few blocks to a mailbox to send a letter.

You will see commuters going into the city – one in a car. No one wants to car pool, everyone wants their space.

Teens are driving to their friends houses instead of walking etc etc etc

And forget about taking public transportation – it is considered tacky by some upper class people.
They insist on driving or taking taxis – even if the train stops a few blocks from their destination!!!
