Fuel prices (USA) have gone through the roof!

Would you share a little more info. on how you'd make bioD? I would be vr. interested. Here, in Asheville the bioD business is starting to slowly blossom, yet only a few stations, to my knowledge, offer it. So any related info. would be appreciated.

There are many websites that have information about making biodiesel on your own w/o a major refinery.


Here are some references for you:

I find Tegimr's contributions - in general and specifically about petroleum alternatives - very enlightening.

Lets all hope we don't have to revive this thread next year, due to short term memory. Paid $2.07 a gallon for 87 in NY yesterday.

Almost as good as $1.67 in Iowa. Disappointed that diesel doesn't drop at same rate as 87.

But frankly, we have low fuel prices due to less traveling in Covid times.
But with vaccine coming after New Year, you better have your tanks full and brace for rapid raise.

At Sam's Club I paid $2.20 per gallon in the morning for the 2004 and $2.22 in the afternoon for the 2006. Some local name brand stations are $2.91 or there about.

When I noticed the $2.91 was when I decided to also top off the 2006 at Sam's Club.

So that means that the fuel prices are lower than they were 14 years ago.

Yes they are.
Who remember the year diesel fuel cost $4/gallon in most of the USA ?

The local Sam's Club and Costco have diesel for $1.69 and it has been that price for a few months. Gas is $1.89.

California Disel today $3.29 9/10
And that's why we have state of the art roads. Oh wait.
