About them diesel prices jumping -- yeah! Last time I put fuel in the CumminsBolt I paid about $1.85 (about two weeks ago). Today, I noticed it was $2.19 and I dropped my teeth (my plate doesn't fit that good anyway...). My guess is the jump corresponds to predictions of a cold winter here on the Right Coast and that Heating oil and Diesel Fuel are the same thing.
And I just picked up a 250-gallon diesel tank for the farm. I guess it'll be a looooooong time before I fill it....
Biodoesel is the way to go.
Anybody see that article on the hydrogen fuel truck that was in Farm Show Magazine a few months back? They've run an over-the-road tractor trailer rig about 100,000 miles on $10 worth of fuel or something phenomenal like that. Actually, you may not have heard of it as the Exxon Hit Squad has probably already executed the entire test team and destroyed the truck.
