Business Buzz Exxon posts a record profit for the last quarter; Shell, meanwhile, made a measly $11.6 billion. It’s the highest quarterly profit of any publicly traded company in the U.S. ever. And it would have been $11.97 if it weren’t for that pesky Exxon Valdez court settlement!
Culture Buzz The pros and cons of scooters, from costs and mileage to safety. As gas prices increase so does the size of the scooter market. Scooters may be the best cheap and environmentally friendly alternative to your SUV. Don’t forget to wear a helmet!
Tech Buzz With gas prices so high, the low-tech push reel mower is making a comeback. I don’t care that much about the gas savings, I just think push reel mowers are classy. Or you could go with the solar-powered robot mower, if you trust robots (note: you shouldn’t trust robots).
Science Buzz Efuel 100 has developed a contraption that lets you make your own ethanol out of water, sugar, and yeast, and fill up your car at home. It’s definitely not for the typical lazy American, but given the popularity of Hybrids, DIY ethanol could become a real trend.
Business Buzz The maker of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles announced an offer that caps the price of gasoline at $2.99 a gallon for three years for people who buy or lease new vehicles from Wednesday through June 2. It doesn’t take a math expert to figure out that more fuel-efficient cars will save you more money in the long-run. However, a pair of blue plastic TruckNutz really only look good on a pick-up truck - so you’ve got a tough decision to make.
