Yea, that’s what I’ve been thinking, been thinking that for over 4 years now. When I bought my truck fuel was $1.30 and gas was $1.90. I couldn’t find a 99+ powerstroke anywhere around here and if I did they wanted way too much for it, like over 25K. I could drive my powerstroke cheaper than my 4.0 Ranger back then. Not long after I got it we had the first big fuel spike, gas went back down but diesel didn’t, ever since then diesel has been more than gas, that makes no sense at all! Today gas was $3.80 and fuel was $4.80, I’m starting to think it’s not a wave but a flood that will never subside and will continue to get deeper and deeper until we all drown or give our trucks away and buy ricers.

I've been wanting to switch to bio but good luck finding any used veggie here. I'm not sure how it would affect the warranty on the wifes truck either.

I was just getting ready to build my processor for Bio so I could tell the fuel companies to Pound Sand, when the seafood place backed out of our agreement. It seems with the higher fuel prices all the food places are being bombarded by folks wanting their used oil, the renderer companies, which have been taking advantage of them for years, are now paying them a attractive sum for thier used oil. If I have to pay $1.00-$1.50 for used oil, then another $5-$6 per gal for Methanol, plus the Catalyst it simply isn't worth it in the long run. Fuel prices can't stay this high, if our pres was up for re-election we would'nt be paying these high prices. We need to dig into the reserve, afterall what is it for if not for times like this??? This will put a hurt on the oil companies and they won't be charging $110+ for a drum of crude. I will park my truck and by a geo before I sell it for 1/2 of what it is worth!! All I am saying is you better have a reliable oil source before switching over to bio or WVO.

This is the time to buy a deisel truck. to bad most of us already have one.

A guy I work with has an 05 H/D edition 50,000 miles and he was offered $14,000.00 for trade.... yet to buy a new one they are not budging off the price nearly as much..

I've gotta ride out it .... since they dropped in value so dang much I owe more than they would give me.

I didn't go home to Tn this weekend because I just didn't want to fork over 200 for fuel 2 weeks in a row. Went to a party out in the country last night and everyone could not believe how cheap we got her truck when they looked at it. My mother in law told me she saw on the radio some dealer in this area would no longer accept trucks or suv's as trade in's on economy cars. They drive a 08 F350 and 07 Expedition and stayed home this weekend too. I want to switch to bio but can't get the oil here unless I start stealing it, seems every place here recycles it or sells it.
