...yeah, i paid 2.29/gal at the TA Truck Stop....it;s gone back up...
but you know, i've never been able to make any kind of BLACK SMOKE with
the Gasoline variety of fuels...& blow it into the grill of the jerk tailgating me...
....i see it as a Luxury Tax...for having significantly more power per pound
than Gasoline....& running 500+ miles per tank....seems like the increases
always hit the oily fuel,prior to hammering the masses in the Gas Stations...
but there is something for handling fuel w/little or Zero BENZENE in it...that will add years to each of our LIVES...

Just paid $2.30/gallon in California. Nearly flooring the engine off stop lights didn't help efficiency much either
