I'm not a conspiracy kind of guy, but with all the smarts we have in this and other countries, I gaurantee that someone already figured it out. OPEC is probably sitting on all kinds of patents. Just like vacuum cleaner bags. The inventor of the bagless vacuum offered the patent to one of the major vacuum manufacturers and they said "Why would we want this? We make all our money on the bags!" Well, someone else got it and produced the bagless vacuum. When the first company was asked about it, they said if they had known how popular bagless vacuums turned out to be, they would have bought the patent and shelved it.

You would be suprised...most states are actually running E10 blends and there is no regulation to notify the consumer! Thankfully in NC they have to mark which pumps distribute E10

You should check out the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?". We have so much invested in oil and the internal combustion engine at this point that any other technologies are suppressed.
