so how much is everyone paying now? last week i paid 2.45 for high test...down about 10 cents a gallon this week!

 

As of May 14, 2005, $1.87 at a citgo and $2.06 at an exxon here in Laredo, Texas. Wonder how long gas is going to dip.

 

As of Aug 18, 2005.........2.57 for regular! Ouch!!

 

2.70 for regular, on average. paid 3.09 in tahoe last friday.

 

As of August 23, gas price is still holding at $2.48 on most gas stations here in Laredo, TX. Nice to hear from you again, shortbus, we kind of missed you!

well, i hit my head again on the trail and it knocked me back to normal. glad I don't own a diesel right now, it's running an average of $.40 a gallon more than regular. met a guy on a club run last weekend that's making his own biodiesel, right now at a 50/50 mix. smells like i'm following a rolling taco bell.

 

hmm..i like how taco bell smells...

when working as a tech, our oil changer was in diesel school, and he said that ALL of the engines that they worked on ran strictly on used McDonalds fryer grease..

 

he gets his used oil from a restaurant in truckee, free for now. if prices stay the way they are, good chance some of these places will realize what they have and start selling it. then the cost benefit will go out the window. it's a pretty interesting process, and the smell is better than straight dino diesel.

 

I'm a plumber and I get alot of customers asking about heating with Biodiesal, there isn't an approved residential boiler available yet but I'm sure its coming. and there are a few people that are using with thier residential boiler with a little tinkering.

 

I don't know about you guys, but gas prices today just went down ten cents from $2.48 to $2.38 in my town. Just in time since tonight I'll be travelling about 640 miles to College Station and back on my H2 at 10.9 mpg! [:@]
