So what. Go collect and filter some used cooking oil, cut it 50/50 with diesel and run it instead of the expensive stuff.

Thumbs up ooooops

Sorry, not meant to offend, but laughing is our only course of action at this point.
We, as a nation, need a more realistic energy policy. Like maybe, Biodiesel at your local gas station?!?!??? Oh and tax credits for EVERY diesel vehicle on the road. Not the current tax credit for businesses that purchase passanger vehicles exceeding 6000 pounds curb weight....

No, no apology is neccessary! And you are certainly not offending! I too was making a harmless jesture in a reply and I was surprised that someone eliminated my post!

Blame it on the trouble makers in places liek Nigeria, and the obvious Middle eastern area, and Putins trying to grab te Russian oil industry.

Anyone in THIS country is the last place blame should be directed. Except for the people who STILL are against any new drilling in this country. Those guys can share the blame.
