Today I was driving around doing errands with the window down.
While stopped at a light, I smelled something cooking.
Smelled like fresh fries.
Getting hungry, I looked around for a Fast Food Joint.....there was none to be found.
Then it dawned on me...........I'm running a tank of B20.

A phone call to see if they still carry it would be a good place to start.
If they sell B100, take a few 5 gallon jugs with you.
You can add some to your regular Diesel and make your own 20% Biodiesel blend.

Looks like they just have B-20. How long will it last in a tank? I thought there were limits on its shelf life, but I may be wrong.

Now that would be Nice!

I would be topping it off every other day if we had BD here (and that cheap)



Yuk! I just said $2.35 was cheap, when I bought my truck in late 2003 Diesel was $1.55 a gallon

Amazing, no. Disgusting? YES!
Like after Katrina last year, anything less than $3.30 a gallon for unleaded was a bargain!

I hope the sarcasm of my last post came through...

yea, I am afraid we will start thinking that $2.30 is cheap, and it will stay that way... my mental goal is to see diesel back below $2.00...
we'll see if there is any power to positive thinking
