I keep telling you guy's, you have to go vege-oil, the hard part is filtering the oil so you can use it. I haven't converted yet, but it's really tempting at $3.00+ a gallon. Anyone done this to there psd out there. Jeff

Funny thing i just filled up this morning. Here in east texas, Regular Unleaded cost me $2.589, 38gal was 98.00 and some change to fill the boat,Diesel for the truck was 3.299, and that was 118.00 for 36gallons. Thats 216.00 of misery, let me tell ya. I guess on the bright side I did make 300.00 today, so I paid for my fuel anyway..

Yup, $2.83 a gallon here for B20, I usually fill it at just under 1/4, costs me usually around $110.00 And I have figured its costing me around $75.00 a week to drive...OUCH! Hybrid anyone? LOL, yea right. Im thinking about getting one just for running around town tho. When I bought my 99 Dodge Diesel (truck before this one) Diesel was $1.59 a gallon here that was only a few years back. Absolutely rediculous that its DOUBLED!!!!!
I do have a Honda Civic but its super modded and down at the moment with a cracked piston. Gas milege isnt much better on that anyway (cant drive it slow :P).

I am a contractor and rely on my truck heavily to do my job and I figure I spend between $500 to $700 a month on fuel. That is really cutting into my lifestyle. I have added a fuel surcharge to my bills but a lot of customers dont want to pay it because "it's not my fault you bought a big diesel truck." Idiots. Pretty soon it will be cheaper to sit on my butt and watch TV than to go to work!!! Wow, it is gettin' bad my friends.......
