We bought a diesel car last year and we've been running biodiesel in it. At the time, we were paying $2.89 for the biodiesel (local supplier) and people laughed at us, because diesel was $2.40 at that time. Now the CHEAPEST petroleum fuel, regular gasoline, is up to $3.35 in this area. And guess what, biodiesel is still $2.89 with no sign that it will go up anytime soon.

And on top of the fuel being cheap as dirt, the car drives 800 miles on a 12 gallon tank of gas, at least highway.

Who's laughing now, huh?

I remember when I could fill my tank for $10.00. And I'm not even 30. Do you hear me complain? Not a bit, I actually hope the price continues to go up. Finally maybe people will catch a clue that this "energy" stuff is more valuable than we thought.
