Does Montanna still have the interstate thru the mountains, with a "Safe and Prudent" speed limit?

no that lasted about 2-3 years. montana's roads suck ***. safe and prudent is like 25 mph.

I make the trek from seattle to Broadwater county a couple of times a year.

ehh they had almost all their roads Safe and Prudent for a long *** time.. except they had a night time speed limit.. but They were told they would loose federal funding for any road related stuff... if they didnt put a speed limit up.. so if your caught speeding its like a $5 fine (thats exaggerated dont get pulled over and blame me if its higher)

Default RE: GAS PRICE! Ethanol??

Ethanol Sucks!! Plain an simple. I live in South Dakota(it sucks dont ask) the heart of Ethanol country and a lot of people buy it. What those consumers dont know is the ethanol burns hotter, then in turn gets burned faster than regular gasoline so you get worse gas mileage. Audi does not look kindly at ethanlol because of this. IMO dont use ethanol

EDIT: The only benefit that I can see from their ads is that its made from corn(that I already knew) and that it grows back every year. And on that note, even though it does grow back every year the soil gets worn out so some day it has to stop.

thank you, i lived in nodak country for 9 years and i tried the 90 with ethanol a few times in my truck (87 produced knocking) and noticed i went through a tank of gas in less than 5 days; i switched to 93 (in a vehicle that called for 87, but remember the knocking) and the mileage increased, so in the long run, i was paying less for better gas. and comming from corn land, that crap ethanol comes from grains and stuff, corn being the best to produce it from and it's "pig corn" or feed corn. if the corporations just go to the co-ops around the mid west, they will find plenty of farmers willing to grow and sell their product for marketable rates instead of taking gov kick backs at lower rates for not growing. not to get off of gas, but the energy produced by corn is impressive. my family had a corn burning stove for about ten years because of the cost and heat; sifting the rocks and cobs out of it was the only hastle.

yeah, i can only bitch about being in NoDak. if you haven't been sentenced, F*** you! it is that horrible up there. thank your lucky stars if you never have to be. anyway, i get the best of both worlds and thank them. and help other people around me remember it. we live in Europe, but pay Merkin" prices. we get not only the cost of gas at the cheap American prices, but we don't yet suffer through the ethenol crap/ guzzling.

That's not bad at all. I'm guessing that tickets can still burn you on insurance though, right?
