I’ve lifted this little item from a discussion board and tidied the grammar for ease of reading.

For every 15 gallons of gasoline you buy of Super at the additional cost of 20 cents per gallon, you will be paying a $3.00 premium over the cost of 15 gallons of Regular. So if you can buy a bottle of octane booster with fuel injector cleaner for under $3.00 which treats 15 gallons of Regular gasoline, and put one of those in with every fill, you will be treating your car the same as filling it with Super.

But which alternative is better for the engine? That’s what enquiring minds wish to know. Is Super really that much better for the car than Regular, and is the booster merely the equivalent of the difference?

The gas station owner would make more money as well.

15 gallons of Super would net the owner possibly $2.10.

15 gallons of Regular with a $3 bottle of Treatment would net the owner about $2.70 ($1.50 profit on gas and $1.20 profit on treatment)

I’ve invited the author of this bit of info to contact me by email.

Get some of those oil profits2

Or maybe not. I’m not into making stock market tips, but I do get them from several sources.

One I got today, if trading on the stock market is your hobby, is Pryme Oil & Gas.

Company: Pryme Oil & Gas Ltd
Price: $0.20

Pryme Oil & Gas Ltd is an energy company focused on exploiting the vast oil & gas reserves of Louisiana. Pryme will have 21 producing oil fields with 9 further holes to be drilled in 2006. Pryme has a strong management and technical team that has a proven track record in creating shareholder wealth.

Pryme Oil & Gas Ltd are to participate in a 3D seismic play covering 90% of Central South Louisiana. A spectacular upside!

The Active Investor, the Corporate Capital Securities Pty Ltd newsletter, has been fortunate enough to secure a FIRM allocation $ 500,000 of shares at 20 cents for our yearly subscribers.

If you would like to participate, please contact John Christian at john.christian@activeinvestor.net.au

This offer is keenly sought after and will close as early as the 24th March 2006.

Please, don’t delay. Contact John today and ensure you don’t miss out and to download a prospectus and secure your allocation now.

I’m not recommending anything here, I’m just bringing you the news as I get it. What you do with it is entirely up to you. Oh, and I’m not even going to comment about ActiveInvestor either. For all I know, they could be Russian smut merchants trying to launder money.

This does raise one question though. How much of the southern bit of the U.S. is going to be subjected to all this probing and prospecting? It’s verging on indecent.

Gas prices to go back to normal0

With the rapid rise of gas prices, and the oil companies to continue to blame the hurricanes for disruption of distribution. We have started to see a decrease in prices, at over 6$ a gallon in some places in the height of the price hike, things have started to settle down according to AAA’s new report. One can only hope they continue to retreat back to what the norm was almost a year ago at the sub 2$ mark.
