Gas prices

I am currently using 20% waste products in my diesel. It makes a big difference in the cost per gallon.

Ahhh... a 20% difference?        

I couldn't resist. 

But not everyone wants to go to the trouble. And that's a good thing or it would be harder to find the waste. As it is from what I see things have gone from where a year or so ago you could get waste oils (cooking oil/grease) for the asking, to where you now have to pay for it.

I'd like an electric vehicle I could plug into my solar.

It seems like to date the optional fuels are only being developed to handle small passenger vehicles. The next generation will have to haul heavy loads to destruct the demand in that area.

I want an optional fuel to power my boat.  My 12 V trolling motor wouldn't cut it long term.  And my Kyacks and canoe are just too wobbly for fishing at my age .  I need a good plan to get out to the fishin' hole...

An article I saw this AM regarding Diesel fuel:

I paid $2189 for gasoline here yesterday.

I bought gas for $1.75 a gallon yesterday.

Gas is 2.29 here and dropping.

I think natural gas is the way to go in the big trucks. Batteries will never make it to hall big loads.
The U.S also has a large supply of natural gas.

With the lithium batteries coming into play. Does anyone know of a large lithium deposit might make a person rich if you could claim it

I heard on the news.
Granted could be just some doofus in my area. That the Fed's may consider an 1.00 tax per gallon on gas seeing that it is so low now and it would help the deficit and help keep our consumption down.

That's basically what they have in Europe. High taxes is what makes their gas pricier than ours.

I made a trip to Nogales today. filled up on the way back. The pump was labeled 10% ethanol. I paid $2.119/gallon. That the lowest price I have seen in this neck of the woods. I paid $2.189 yesterday at a different station, non-ethanol fuel. I now drive a corn fed Chevy.

You give me hope for more price destruction here.  I don't know why we always have to be last.
