I hate to be pompous, but I never filled up before the big rush Wednesday. I was getting nervous until I pulled up to the pump. With unleaded up about $.50 here in Ohio, I was pleasently shocked to see that diesel only climbed about $.05! Filled up with $37. I even had some guy driving an excursion pull up and ask me what kind of milage I got with it. I told him, and I think he might have been a little annoyed! I got to thinking about it. This guys paying more for his truck (loan payment, insurance, $100+ gas tank) than I would be if I was paying my mortgage, TWICE!

I love that theater seating.

I pulled up tonite in my fuel efficient 300DT; to a crowded Mobil on Rt 441 in Boca and got $2.00 of RUG in my gas can went home and mixed it with 5 gallons of used fryer oil, pumped it in with my hand pump from Harbour Freight... While back at the Mobil, that Excursion behind me was still only 3/4 way done fueling that $hitbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
