You might try finding Biodiesel in your area
I recently located a production facility outside Houston with a retail pump for $3.50/gal. But the cost of Bio continues to rise alongside Petro. I need to map out Bio pumps for our vacation this year to Washington.

WALKING AND BEER:
A recent study found the average American walks
about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average,
22 gallons of beer a year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41
miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American.

Biodiesel is the solution!
It is in Waller, Tx off 290. "New Energy" will also deliver a 250 gal tote for the same price. The guy didn't tell me that so I drove out and it wasn't bad as long as its not rush hour. Besides there is a nice mall there my wife likes so I really don't save much in reality!

A smarta$$ pal of mine once figured my mile per beer when driving I-10 border to border through Texas, but no one has ever bothered with my beer mpg while walking. I would not even know where to begin. What do you start with? One of those little red wagons and an ice chest?

Three weeks ago biodiesel was 4.59 in Seattle while dino was 4.19.
Now dino just jumped overnight from 4.09 to 4.39.
I expect the bio outlets to hit 5.00. They are in it for the money too, IMO. There are simply enough people up here who don't care how much bio is, they will pay anything to avoid dino. More power to them, but I am not part of that crowd. Forum rules forbid me to explain why due to Whom I put my faith in.

I am looking at the price go up and up. and we pump 300 to 350 gal. in to this bird I work on so it can go fly for 3hr. I wounder if they would even miss 20/gal a week. But my job is to much for me to do that and i think JP8 would burn to hot.

Ok. Enough. We get it already!!
Yeah, fuel prices suck. Ok. Thread after thread of "I hate gas prices!" and the like get OLD FAST!!!
Don't get caught up in things you can't control. It makes life miserable. Someone is making money and you're paying. Yep.
Do what you can with what you have and be content. There's nothing we can do. Accept it. We've given up so many freedoms (our sovereignty) to our government that they are walking all over us now.

I am a coordinator/dispatcher for an owner/operator company (48-53" flatbeds etc.) and when I can I advise they sell off and flip burgers. Fuel has gone up 60% and rate per mile has moved less than 5%. Everyone will feel the effects of the goverment/oil companies decision to raise diesel to .60 cents more than unleaded, soon. Can you say $6.00 milk
But on a half drunk happy note I bought yesterday at $3.89 and today $4.09

This is not going to be popular.
How many of you complaining on this forum actually needed a full sized truck to drive around today. It you were towing something heavy, or hauling 2 or mors tons of whatever around, you have my sympathy.
If you were using a full sized pickup just to haul your butt atound town, and insisted on your god given right to blast down the freeway at 80 miles per hour, YOU ARE CREATING THE DEMAND THAT IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR OIL COMPANIES TO CHARGE THESE PRICES AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
Rethink your own transportation choices.

Went from 4.11 to 4.26 in less than a week. This guy down the road from me used to be at least .25 cents cheaper than where i moved from(higher taxed county). Not no more, this is crazy. Whats next bread and milk eggs ect, prices are going to change day by day. OK, i,m getting a little nuts, i guess thats what happens when i get ripped in the wallet.
