Here is some good info on diesel prices.

Worldwide demand for diesel has gone way up.

Good information, thanks.

It is obviously biased away from popular folk wisdom however since
there was no category in the pie chart breakdown called "Greedy
Corporate Speculative Excess Profits". I don't see how they could
have missed an obvious item like that in an otherwise well researched
article. :-)

Agent just ate my reply with a typo, and in 13 yeaars, I have never
figured out how. Our Lincoln Navigator has four cams and 32 valves and
only manages to get 14 at 70. The thing some real walnut trim,
steering wheel, little plates containing the window and door lock
switches. Nice looking. So, I sometimes call it:' The Sliverado.'

My Silverado gets 14 mpg - when I'm pulling the travel trailer. But, that's 40% better than my
4Runner got, so I'm not complaining.

My 1999 Expedition sucked fuel. 14,5 mpg was about normal. In 100,000
miles the best I ever got on a long trip was 16.5 mpg, and that was from Los
Angeles to Pleasanton and I do not think I ever got over 65 mph. My 300 HP
327 SS 1964 Impala got better than that, and would do 142 mph.

I've had no problems with "ethanolized" fuel in cars, trucks, four
stroke outboards, four stroke lawnmower and lawn tractor, two cycle
chain saw or grass trimmer. The vehicles, outboards and lawn tractor
have user-changeable fuel filters. Usually, I run the chain saw and
trimmer until they run dry.

Speaking of motorbikes.. Jess and I did our first valve job on a four
stroke the other day. The bike is buttoned up and ran like a champ all
weekend long. We took the little bike just in case though...

Beautiful boating/riding weekend we had, a bit breezy but not enough to
cause any issues on the track... Have fun, later...

Paper fuel filters do nothing for ethanol, expert.

Reply:
I know the old gas got about 10% more mileage than the new stuff. But,
damn, all that computerized fuel injection and separate coil for each
cylinder, should get a lot more mileage than a high performance 1964 carbed
engine.
