My LHS is out of Top Fuel, and they told me that they can't get it. They told me about how 8 of the 10 factories in China closed. Does any body else have this problem?
 
I heard that much of china is closing to try to clean the air for the athletes in the olympics, they say a few weeks so that might be the problem.
"The Chinese government is considering a stoppage of manufacturing production in several cities that will host the 2008 Summer Olympics in order to reduce pollution during the games, according to multiple news sources quoting a research note from the commodities research firm Platts. The report says that Chinese government officials have notified major coal-fired power stations, steel mills, and other heavy polluters that a broad shutdown order will be issued approximately 30 days before the games begin on August 8 and operations will remain halted until the games end on August 24. Approximately 13 gigawatts of electricity production will be stopped, along with significant amounts of steel, cement, iron ore, and papermaking production. It is not known what impact the widespread shutdown will have on the Chinese economy, but without full electricity generation, the country’s gap between electricity demand and supply could worsen considerably."
heres the link to that http://www.areadevelopment.com/fromTheWire/feb08/chinaToShutDown.shtml
 
Guess it's time that I learn how to make my own fuel. I hear it's allot cheaper and not too hard to do.
 
Either way, it sucks. Good thing I have two gallons I bought a few months ago... guess I'll be putt putt'ing around with my jato since my LRP in my aftershock just drinks the juice!
