Re: The Scare
I can't remember the exact numbers but I remember reading somewhere that if gasoline prices had tracked with inflation in general they should be pretty high today. Not that I want that of course (unlike our President).
I don't know how the breakdown of what gets made from a barrel of crude except I have read that somehwere from 21-23 gallons of gasoline is refined from each 42 gallon barrel that recently seems to be on the market for $80-$120 per barrel. Of course the other 50% of the oil also goes into making petroleum based goods that brings $$.
We are actually exporting refined gasoline for the first time in about 30 years because the poor economy and high gas prices have driven our domestic demand down. Up till now our refineries were at capacity just trying to supply America.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
