Boy - President Money Bags is squealing really hard for someone who thought five dollar gas, was no big deal.

  1. Kind of crazy to think that I paid $2.02 a gallon yesterday in downtown Ripon. That's a 10% decline since gas broke $4 a gallon and a 30% decline over the last 6 months. Meanwhile Exxon and other "oil" companies just announced a $40 billion (w/ a b) Alaskan project so that they can sell it to the Chinese. Chevy even said that they are going to build a gas/cng hybrid once again. Believe it or not, my van is up 300% since I bought it. I can understand making money by selling your clunkers to PMB, but who knew it was even possible to profit on a vehicle in the free market too. They're supposed to lose money every day. Maybe even crazier is that I'm about to pull the trigger on a CNG bus, so that I can arbitrage PMB's funky energy solution for as long as I possibly can.

  2. What on earth do you need a bus for? For the dogs? You should just set up a nice little trust fund for them. Hahahah.

    I swear, you are starting to sway me. At least there is some resale value on a vehicle like that in the future. Instead of getting a brick with electric.

    I might have to find a way out into your neighborhood. Because I'm becoming really curious about how all of that works. Although performance cars are probably out with cng. right? 0-50 in... what?

  3. I need the bus for a new startup. We're going to mod it, so that it works better for our needs. I'll still have to get a class B license to drive it though. We're still in stealth mode so I can't get into the details online, but this is one of the more crazier ideas that I've tried. I have a funny feeling that both you and Mr. S will get a kick out of it when you see it in person. I've never seen a sports car with a CNG, but they sell kits for $3k that can convert almost any vehicle.

    You can also spend $3k for a fillup at home station and PG&E will sell you gas right from your home at about $1.15 a gallon. I'm going to pick one up if I do buy the bus, but isn't really worth it for an around the town van.

  4. Oh. Now you've got my curiosity up. Just draw up an NDA, and I'll sign it. You know you want to tell me. ;) I mean, not over the webs. Obviously.
