Craig, hope I don`t get as old as you, you must be getting up there.
Just find an age you like and stick with it.

the wife an I did some running around today, from Soquel to scotts Valley
over to Felton, down to Santa Cruz and home. so I wrote down the fuel
prices.

---------regular------plus-------super------Diesel------Bio Diesel

USA------$2.91-------$3.01------$3.11------$----------$3.37

Spirit------2.91--------3.09-------3.19--------3.37
(Talaban)

Union 76---2.97--------3.09-------3.19--------3.17

Chevron---3.07--------3.19--------3.31--------3.23

Quick
Stop------2.91---------3.01-------3.11---------3.11

Rotton Robbie on 9-15---------------------------3.02
they might be a couple cents more.

most of the gas is close in price, but a big swing on the Diesel side. want me to use Bio?
lower the price. that Bio station is B99. a little more than a year ago they went 100%
Bio Diesel. price was 3.15, jumped 3.21 then to 3.29. get me hooked then raise the price.
then jumped to $3.35 and sat there for quite a while. now 3.37.
of course the Talaban station on the other corner stays right with this guy.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

I'm not really that old, but I do have pretty high mileage.

Do they give out grill badges for that kind of high milage.

I think you don't have much of a grille left to hang one after all those miles.

I havn't paid more than 0.99 for more than a year for Diesel...99 a litre that is whatever it converts to in US measurements. Gasoline has ALWAYS been 10c or more than diesel here.. except for ONE DAY when the gas first hit $1.15/l and diesel was 1.37....

right now gas prices here are 1.12l gas and .96l to .98l

That works out to about $3.75 per US gallon. Not all that much higher than we're getting to here in GR, Michigan!! Today I filled up with NINETEEN gallons at $3.19. Cost of fillup: $60.02! I barely had 2 gallons left in the tank....it was stressful since my gauge doesn't work....

I'd use gas/veg oil mix from sams club....but I am too worried that it'd hurt my engine. That'd cost about $3.03 a gallon or so.

My last tank was mostly B20, and I got 22.8mpg....this time its all diesel, hopefully with better mpgs.....

Hard to believe the lowest FJ price in the country for diesel is in Troutdale, OR which is an hour's drive for me. If only it was worthwhile to make the drive.
