A Short Course in Investing in Perilous Times
With gas1 hitting $4.99/gallon in California today for the cheap stuff (and the expensive stuff getting mighty cozy with the halfway marker to $6/gallon gas), things are starting to get interesting.2
[[100 LL]] is already over $6/gallon, prompting an as-of-today $26/Hobbs-hour fuel surcharge on top of the plane rental.
Ouch.
Despite the skyrocketing food and oil prices, a pathetic dollar, and the uncertainty and angst that comes along with that4, it is nice to know there remains a currency that will hold its value.
Can I power my Civic on this stuff?!
Apparently, my reputation precedes me...
Despite the temptation, it will have to wait for a couple of days; rc4 just went out today; final looks to be right around the corner.

If you pour that stuff into your Civic's gas tank, I'm afraid I'm going to have to fly over there and kill you. Which, in turn, would be a /real/ waste of petrol. So just don't go there, k? :p
