Steve, The news you heard on TV is normal every day stuff in that town, I know I lived in the Portland area for 18 years, 1985-2003. The sad part is and the ones who you need to look out for are the Hispanic gangs, they make the Bloods and Crips look like boy scouts or they did when I lived in the area. The young ones between 10 -16 in baggy pants are the ones who will do you in in a heartbeat for no reason at all if there are two or more together.

One of the nice things of living in the PDX area was that I could drive to the coast in about 2 hours maybe less depending on the traffic and what route I took. Oh the zoo was ok and a few other spots too.

I have heard that B20 will make a diesel engine run a lot quieter then normal due to the good lube qualities of the Bio. BTW, our dog would not let either of us out of his sight for a week after we returned home from Las Vegas.

SteveO you are not imagining that. I found the same thing. Bio is better at lubrication than #2 or even #2 plus additives. It also acts like a cleaner. It does smooth em out too.

Thanks for the info. Eugene is a little to far away for me . I just found a B20 station in Clackamas. Do you think this is comparible to Drew's Brew? I have been paying about 2.85gal for #2 fuel. Was the B20 big bucks?
