It has gone up even more than diesel, most people are seeing around $4 a gallon when you calculate the cost of it. Not to mention it will hurt your engine, and when running it you'll get 4 less mpg.

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

As well as hurting the roads and law abiding taxpayers.

If the veggie price is up there.. little I can do about it...might switch to it anyway, however, when Dr. Rudolph Diesel first invented the diesel engine in the 1890's, diesel fuel, as we know it today, did not yet exist. Dr. Diesel fueled his early prototype engines with peanut oil.

I'll follow in the footsteps one of the first Diesel people.

Unfortunately the Diesel engine as you describe it no longer exists. ALL modern (1960+) diesel engines were made to run on petroleum Diesel.

I noticed diesel near my house in N. VA this morning was up to $3.50 a gallon. Holy moly!

This led me to ask the question of whether their are different grades of diesel fuel that can be burned in a 24 year old MB? I'm new to diesel cars, so I have not got any experience with this yet. I'm still on my first tankful.
