Are You Ready For Diesel Yet?

you mean freedom fries :-)

Used to have a store on Maple just east of Pontiac Trail. Nobody would buy anything, and then they were surprised when we closed. Thank God we got someone to sublease the building.

Buddy are you a shill for the gas companies or something?

Your 'sure' sound like it. All you have done on this board is BS about off topic crap and push stinky fuel.

Do you even own a Jeep?

I know where to get gasoline real cheap, when I look at prices in Europe.

But turbine gas mileage is awful and the turbine itself is very expensive.

No, I didnt. Bill, you have a lot of knowlege, but need to resist making assumptions. I added the 10 gallons of peanut oil to the 12 gallons of diesel already in my tank, (25 gal cap) and noticed no difference in performance on these mountain grades. I could have run it straight in this hot weather with no blending.

at about $6.60 per gallon, I'm not convinced. LPG is better for us, 1/2 the tax. I guess I will appreciate the free healthcare which the motorist pays for when I get sick, but it hasn't happened yet...

I liked the thing out of Batman Returns, whatever it was.

Our club bought the old cook trailer from the Clairemont Lions Club down there, and we hauled it home. It had two jugs of oil that were unopened, but out of date and deemed to be not fit for, or needed for food use, so I offered to dispose of it. Buying it would have cost more than diesel, which is about $2.80 a gallon here. Not so in the UK, where many are using cheaper rapeseed oil instead of diesel. I could do the greasel processing for free fuel, but since i only use about 20 gallons monthly, it would be a waste of time. My original post was intended to point out that paying more for diesel that for gas, is still a good move if the mileage returned is substantially better, and there is the option of free fuel. I have even heard of guys filtering used engine oil and using it blended with diesel, but that's not going to happen in my engine. Since I only paid $400 for the car in excellent condition, the purchase price does not enter the equation. If you were calculating that, since used

Dave Milne did pass the time by typing:

Exactly. :) With a 10' long flame to discourage tailgaters that don't have hotdogs or marshmallows stuck to the front grill.

About any fuel that will run a turbine will run a diesel, now that JP-4 is history.

Thre's nothing off topic about cutting fuel costs, and yes, I do (but it's in pieces now).
