Company finds natural solution that turns plants into gasoline "With minor changes in the agricultural and forestry products, we could create two to two and a half billion tons of biomass a year, and you're looking at 5 billion barrels of oil per year. That would be about two-thirds of what...

Some good news for a change! A US Govt. Geological survey says there's 28X more oil here than the agency's 1995 estimate. Story has a link to the USGS site. Billions of gallons of oil in North Dakota, Montana "The Bakken Formation estimate is larger than all other current USGS oil...

I was poking around yesterday and found a nice deal on USB flash drives. I had been wanting one for awhile for storage and portability. They're good for storing programs, music or any kind of files that you'd like to transport around. I found this thread on Fatwallet and searched a bit more and...

I saw this posted on the Clark Howard (radio show) message boards and I think it is absolute GENIUS and a very useful service. Each Internet Service Provider uses DNS servers to provide the internet to our computers, like this: PC/Router---> ISP DNS Server--> Internet, then back to your PC. A...

I picked up this mini-ladder today at Home Depot for $9.99. I'd been wanting something that was portable, easy to carry and would let me get up on SUV's and pickups easier. It can be seen on Home Depot's Weekly Ad, page 2. Its made by Gorilla Ladders, says it has "extra wide steps with anti-slip...

Looking for recommendations here, I'm wondering if a glaze (RMG) could be applied over OPS or if OPS should only be used as a true one-step? I have a vehicle that's in pretty good condition but would like to add some extra wetness to it. I just bought the OPS and am *itching* to try it (ya know)...

This is my first click & brag after 3-4 years here. The info you get here on Autopia is amazing and produces great results. I did this for a couple who bought the truck used recently and they were very happy with the results. The purple paint is really popping. (pop-pop!) Used a PC 7424 on it...

I have a friend who's going to do his car 1st time by hand. I gave him 6 ozs of AIO to use but I'm thinking he will need a strong polish before the AIO that he can buy locally. My idea was wash, clay, polish, AIO, wax. I've searched but can't think of a strong OTC polish that he could use. I...

I was getting some spam in my Outlook Express box, about 5-8 per day over the past 3 months. I usually only give out this address to close friends but one person likes to send FWD's with LOTS of email addresses in them and probably one of the spambots picked up my address and off we went. 3...

Just found this at Fatwallet forums. It expires today so have to be quick. Can actually make a couple $ after both rebates and get free synth oil! Free 6 qts. Pennzoil Full Synthetic Oil Pennzoil Platinum

There's a gentleman on ebay selling the large size 15oz tins of Blitz wax for $16 + $5 shipping. I ordered one from him last week and received it yesterday. The container looks new and the wax is moist, overall "like new" condition. I shopped around online and the best price I could find was...

I ran across some links this afternoon and many people are saying they've used Acetone as a fuel supplement to increase their MPG and claim from 8-25% increases. Has anyone here tried Acetone? I'm think of heading up to the hardware/drug store today to give it a try. Suggested use is 2oz per 10...
