top tier GASOLINE is merely a way of marketing gas, saying that "its" forumlated to meet the standards set by named automakers......in the end, yes bad gas from the cheapo mart isnt as good as gas from say, shell, or BP, but its basicly still all the same |

I think all the gas in the USA is "top tier". |

Well in the US, CostCo is currently selling soybean oil in handy 4.6 gallon boxes for ~$12. That works out to $2.61/gal. $0.65 less than diesel at the cheapest local station. The G is purring along nicely with a 50/50 mix. The E300D is next on the filling list. I'm trying to get their vendor to deliver full 1000L IBC containers. Can't get any interest yet. |

I read an article saying that E85 may be more costly to make in the end. Because it takes some amount of water to refine it, and if we have a water shortage, oil may end up cheaper. |

when i start the 190, i'm gonna only use BP Premium...
Glad to see you’re thinking along those lines because if your 2.6 L M103 is like my 3.0 L M103, premium is required. |

i just changed all my fluids and filters today, and the inside of my screw on filter was BLACK! 
would this be crap from my tank that was dislodged by my recent full tank of SVO ?
or did i wait too long between filter changes...?
its been like 8 months, and i even had that filter on in the summer, doing all that WVO i had.....
maybe thats it....
what do you all think? |

im gonna get as much as i can take, as long as i pick it up..........
its from one of my uncles places......
ok, so how will i get it from the "shortening cart" (as the manager calls it, i havent seen it yet) that they use to dump it into the grease dumpster, into tubs in my trunk?
im was stealing for a while, when i stayed in Oklahoma, late at night, with a 5 gal. bucket, and 2 16 gal. tubs from walmart, but i dont know if the tubs will work in this case..........
i will work to find out more, but i have to wait til after the holiday.........
more to come........  |
