I went by the station I snapped a pic of earlier, today it is at $4.49! There were only 3 people at that station, the one acroos the street was packed.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The WVO probalby contains some animal fats that have solidified. Tell him to put about a quart of mineral spirits in with the next tank and it might dissove the fats and restore his performance.m16ty said:There's a local guy that started running WVO in his Dodge Cummins. After a few tank fulls this truck won't hardly start anymore without either ( even in warm temps on strait diesel). This has given me some reservations about running WVO in anything but a mulitfuel. Anybody have any idea what he did wrong?
Blood_of_tyrants, Was your 50/50 mix of motor oil and gas run in the mulitfuel or another engine. I know the oil/gas mix will run in the mulitfuel but I don't know about a CUCV.
I am a babbling idot. So here's a theory I have had for a while. The people that make the big decisions (put who ever you want in for this one) know that the only way to get Americans (as they said on SNL "oil guzzling ham faces") to use less fuel is to raise the price. Therefore to get Americans to be more fuel efficent in their behavior is to make fuel more costly. Now I may not be right, but look around. We are doing things to use less fuel. How many of us are looking to alternative fuels. People are putting effort into developing alternative fuel sources. I myself am thinking long and hard about a centrafuge (did I spell that right? I can't get spell check to work any more) that would allow me to use some low cost used motor oil in my diesell vehicles.tjcouch said:In the case of gasoline consumers are now at the point where they are looking for ways to conserve. Any further increase in price will result in consumers burning less fuel, and thus, a decrease in revenue for the energy industry. (People will drive less, carpool, mass transit, etc.)
The government mandating what gas prics will is the absolute WRONG thing to do. If you tell oil companies that they can only sell gas for $2 a gallon and it costs them $2.25 a gallon to produce it, they will simply stop making gas.kieote said:I don't know how much it affects the cost but i have heard that diesel goes up in the winter due to the fact that some heaters use the oil. But ya blame the gov for the most part, they could cap the prices, and maybe also fix the recession. All the poor people that have to choose pay for thier house or their gas.
