Were my ears playing tricks on me, or did I hear the President say today, on one of his news confrences, "if you don't need gas....don't buy it"? Is this the new answer to the Supply and Demand problem. Why are the refineries shut down, or working at 50%. Inquiring minds need to know. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx teltek@xxxxxxxxx "Learn from past mistakes.Or you are bound to repeat them" On Sep 01, 2005, at 5:03 PM, walter wood wrote: We're possibly talking about two different things here. Personally, I've just now heard about the biodiesel. Thing about that is that in Tennessee we pay about $0.50 per gallon tax. If this catches on I suspect that it won't be long before making your own biodiesel will be just as illeagle as running a whiskey still. All about tax money. Here, regular diesel(at the pumps) and regular gas have been about the same price for years. Diesel engins cost more to begin with, so the only savings would have to come from better MPG. I've never owned a diesel so I cannot comment on their MPG. Walter --- Kevin's TV Repair <kevintv@xxxxxxx> wrote: Plus diesel creates much more pollution than a new efficient gas powered car.

Ya just can't win. Many in Canada went to Electric Baseboard Heaters about 20 years ago. They are pulling them out, since Electric falls right in line with Natural Gas and Oil these days.

Just a bitch to start in WINTER without a block heater.

I have a late model F250 Lariat Diesel. It costs me, on average, 60-70 cents a gallon for fuel running biodiesel in it... Bill William H.

Centers planning to raise service rates or add surcharges when providing on site service? Gas prices literally jumped in half hour increments earlier today. Companies with fleet vehicles will be hit hard.
