It is my fault that on reading a couplve of key sentences were left out of the piece above. Let me summarize their thoughts without going back to the original….Demand for natural gas and other alternative fuels like methanol and ethanol would likely reflect higher numbers if Congress, as it should, enacts flex fuel legislation and encourages Detroit to produce more flex fuel autos. Demand would also increase if EPA facilitated convervsion of older cars to alternative fuels, such as methanol, and perhaps other alternative fuels and car makers remooved restraints on gas stations concerning placing alternative fuel pumps on site. We would be better off re fuel costs, the environment, the economy and security
