but this time it effects the gassers instead of the oil burners..

y'all sure you don't want a diesel?! its about to cost you a lot more to drive a gasser...
Nope not a chance in H*** will I look at a newer oil burner. Multi fuel whistler yes that is what I am looking for come fall. Gas price is what it is we are already over $5 a US gallon.

Hey, I'm looking at a diesel
haha I was referring to gasoline prices are going to be back to being higher than diesel prices...

like they used to be before diesel fuel got the ultra low sulfur requirement.

I combat the fuel with 2-cycle oil..quart per full tank does the job to keep things lubricated.

soy based bio diesel 2% or higher is also a great alternative for lubrication in the fuel.


what kind you getting tech-jockey

Unlike back I the 70's when the price of gas was related to the cost of a barrel of oil and refining cost, today it is controlled by "how much can we squeeze out of the consumer?" The small additional cost to remove sulfur will be almost insignificant.

Dad used to have a Corolla. Very fuel efficient. Really nice car too . Bought it new and then sold it later when he didn't have to commute so much anymore.
