John,

Willie Nelson asked me to tell you that he is proud of you.   Does your car
(like his tour bus) attract a lot of animals to the smell of the exhaust?
:-)

 

Cheers,

Joe

Whatever the merits/demerits of ethanol in gasoline, I've been a diesel user
in my daily driver for some years. With rocketing fuel prices in the UK - a
gallon of diesel costs me US$11.00 - I've just gone down the route of
running my car on bio-diesel. As far as I can make out, bio-diesel is a
refined and recycled fuel made mostly from cooking oil out of UK fish and
chip shops and food processors. For a start it now costs me only US$3.20 a
gallon and the performance difference is negligible and the car is more
environmentally friendly with lower emissions than with the normal diesel. I
have to say my first consideration was not the environment but my wallet ...
