Can flex-fuel cars put US on the road to low oil prices?

3. Doubtful.

First, this improbable scheme is pitting natural gas against petroleum, which means that our consumption of that resource will RISE.

We are already increasing our use of nat gas in generation of electrical power, sending significant amounts of it into the transportation sector would increase demand and make matters worse.

We need to retire our fleet of gas guzzlers and suvs and get more an more people into hybrids and electrics and small diesels... and off the highways and into public transportation modes.

Doing these things over a ten year period makes a lot more sense.
