RE: [RC] Diesel at $3 a gallon - Kristen A Fisher

It is gaining in availability; my friend here runs her 36' RV on it as well as her truck when she can and said it is usually competitive with regular diesel and was much less than diesel after Katrina.

I have looked into biodiesel as an alternative...unfortunately would have to drive 45 miles to get it....last time I checked it was running about $3.35 a gal....seemed to always be a bit higher in cost than diesel...

I'll ask my friend when she gets back in town. Or maybe someone here knows. I think she said it was about $2/gal but I'm not sure. Could be less. I interviewed my friend about it for our region's newsletter. I can send you a copy in PDF form.
Karla,
How much does the Bio Diesel cost?

I feel this country is simply not trying hard enough to develop fuel alternatives. 
My riding buddy uses veggie oil in her diesel truck. Its called Bio Diesel and its very cool. She has been using it for about 1 year and never had any problems. She said you just have to change your oil filter is just about it, then you are good to go. She has it delivered or picks it up in big drums and keeps it at her house. Her truck smells good. Like someone is having corn on the cob when she drives in.
