Reg. gas has been at $2.69/gal for quite along time now. The good news lately is, that if you only drive east anymore, you will get a very substantial increase in your gas mileage.

This subject is always a good way to get me riled up One of the largest ripoffs of all times !! And the BIG question, who's responsible? Here is a couple things to think about~ in 1992 I attended a class at the University of Mo on their College farm located at Linneus Mo. I was there taking a class on livestock production and while in the classroom kept noticing a 1980 something Ford truck driving by the window, each trip with a different driver. When we had a lunch break I went to see what was so popular about this old pickup. The 4 college boys that were responsible for the truck said their class had converted it to run on Soybean Oil,grew the beans and extruded the oil. Never heard from or saw them again. So what's up with that? #2, a neighbor of mine (now deceased) converted a Chevy diesel pickup to vegetable oil for $900, with the help of a mechanic friend, normal cost would be around $1700.Main costs are fuel tank, filters, switches in the line. Now bear with me for this is the gospel truth, he used a CRAPPIE LIGHT ,clear plastic hose, and a 12 volt pump, went to the Chinese restarurant, dropped the light which floated in their used oil tank, pumped their used cooking oil into jugs. AS the light went to the bottom he began to get cornmeal and would stop when he saw meal coming up the clear hose. He would filter this one more time then burn it through his truck. The Chinese no longer had to pay for disposal of their used oil and Kelly drove his truck for near nothing. His truck gained 11 horsepower and the milage was somewhat better. The truck was started on diesel until warm, switched to oil for the day and before shutting down for the night switched back to diesel for about 2 minutes. Moral of my story is this- the solutions to our problems are out there- they are being sidetracked by some nice folks that want to get rich from you. And we would all hate to see some farmers get rich by fueling your car/truck, they might all turn into a greedy bunch.
