Re: [RC] [RC] Why is diesel so expensive? - Kelly Lane

I've been very interested in converting to biodiesel. In our city there is a large biodiesel station/facility that is used by municipal vehicles and is open to the public. My only concern is once on the road finding stations that stock it as typically I travel up to several hundred miles to attend rides.

Here is a link that many of you may find interesting. www.biodiesel.org

What kind of engine are you running it in? I would hate to have to replace
my Cummins, it only has 162,000 on it, not even 1/3rd of the way there. beccy

I think it's just that they've realized that the trucking industry has no

diesel (after warm up). I went 1500 miles (Ft. Polk, LA to St. Louis, MO and
back past "home" in NW Arkansas) and only spent $20 on fuel...my fuel comes
out of the back of restaurants (they often have to PAY to get the stuff hauled
off) for free! Runs great!

Just bought a diesel truck and have noted since bought, diesel is about .20
more expensive that unleaded. Thought diesel was less processed and should
be less expensive. It was less expensive when first bought the truck. Maybe
it's more expensive now because I did buy the truck. Maybe it's all my fault
diesel is more expensive.:)
