It is the same sadness you get when you hear the formula-rock and roll bands eulogizing how the original music is.

About 10% more crude is needed to produce a gallon of unleaded than leaded gas, and that extra margin increases the nation's oil import bill, which once again has begun to grow after showing some brief signs of improving. This year, oil and natural gas imports will swell to $45 billion, up from $42 billion last year.
