It is always us little guys that get hosed in everything.

Yeah I saw that coming a mile away.

Anyhow mates, I reckon we both live in a lucky country.

Sounds like the trustworthy politicians we have in Washington.

But they are consistant, no matter what they say they really mean one thing. Taxes will go up.

Oh well it could be worse I guess, enjoy the winter!

I found diesel at a small station in Lansing, MI two days ago for ....drumroll.....$2.59!!!!!

Gas at the same station was like $2.92!

They did not have diesel listed on their sign, but I saw a lonely pump off to the side behind the building, so I went and checked, sure enough it was diesel and not kerosene. My eyes bugged out when I saw the price!! Thats over 35 cents lower than any other diesel station I had seen. The guy at the register commented on my car too.

Fuel has been stable around here, $2.92 currantly, dropped to $2.89 for a bit.

But now I can write off all the fuel I buy! So that offests it a bit.

Business expenses rock!

happy? hell yeah im happy! after having done with paying $3.60+++ for premium chevron or shell gas that the S420 would take. Im happy that i can now pay $2.75 for Biodiesel.

And the VW loves it!

I might be a little worried about catching a dose of algae or worse yet, water, in those little out of the way spots. I'll pay the price at a "high volume" station. We have one of those little cheap places not far from here and all the locals know it wouldn't be a good deal if he was giving it away
