Diesel Fuel Price

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Jet A, home heating oil, and diesel for off road use will all work.

Add a nitrous tank for a little boost and you should be good to go. I don't need pressurization for the bus but a JATO would be nice.

Since this is supposed to be a post on the price of Diesel fuel I thought I'd let everyone know our local price dropped 6 cents at the end of last week. That is not much but it is a movement in the right direction.

Sound thinking Harry, but there is a flaw. Most of the oil that is currently pumped from Alaska goes to Japan and other foreign markets. The US Mainland sees very little Alaska oil since the oil companies get more bux for exporting it. So, if we drill for more Alaska oil, it better be stated somewhere that the oil companies can't export it!
Diesel at our local Shell down the street is $3.85 today. Today, Crude closed at $101.58, and the US dollar is worth 98 cents to the Canadian dollar. The spiral down as we know began with the interest rate drop. Everyone is so focused on the big banks' exchange rate.
What no one talks about are the rates that individual banks charge for home loans, and they aren't going down much.

That' my $4/gallon comment.

I have read some USA oil is more expensive to process. That is one reason we import Saudi oil.

Mr Gingrich has a petition going that he is planning on presenting to congress.

Drill here drill now..........

Do you think that it is dreaming to hope that some day we might get a plain spoken, intelligent, statesman that has the ability to get good legislation through running things at the front office?

I just did an advanced search for the rant I went on pertaining to fuel costs and could not find it. That's O/K it would be rude to blow my own horn

Get onboard on this one, I think it could get interesting.

Future Transportation Fuel: In accordance with the Oil billionair T Boone Pickens our buses and semi's running on (LNG) liquid natural gas would reduce the use of oil in the USA by 55%. How can this happen? Read this web site http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=819165
The systems are here and in use and are even offered to us in kit form for our Detroits. As I see it filling stations will have to grow with the expanded use, but I don't see other draw backs. The fuel is very abundent at home and at lower prices than oil.
Remember guys the far left that is eliminating our chosen way of life in our buses and craming us into the new fhuers car the Prius or other mouse car.
We can beat them at the ballot box and the use of public referendums.

It might be worth reading this, from the Wall Street Journal.

OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.

OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel. (four Pecks for the Purest's)

Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.

Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!

Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel thigh cooked over Light Sweet Crude!
