Crude @ $60.00+ and #2 will take the hit

Was watching the talking heads on CNBC this afternoon and this one guy was making sense (at least to me). He said that this fall ,heating oil and diesel would take the biggest jump since refinery capacity is limited in heavy distillates and the current summer surge will prevent stockpiling of #2 in the fall for the winter season. He saw $3.00 diesel, national average. I guess I will be driving less

Still even at $3.00, the cost per mile of my diesel is less than a Premium Gas Model Benz. Little consolation though.

This will just make the US new car diesel line up even leaner than it already is. I'm just about ready to start running WVO, hopefully by the end of the week. I've been experimenting blending WVO with diesel in different concentrations to see what kind of waxing can occur and for cold temp usability, so far I've had occur none as of this writing.

Homebrew biodiesel comes on line soon, and this winter enough kerosene to make it flow.

I have been watching energy prices daily now. A year ago I was thinking the analysts were crazy when they were talking 60 dollars a barrel.
ENERGY PRICES

This is all a big scam if you ask me.
Oil prices don’t hurt everyone
