I know that the popularity of diesels has exploded in our area. The dealers can't keep them in stock and are offering top dollar for used ones. You"ve cleared up the Low Sulfar issue, i see that on the gas pumps and the warning about using it in models after or before a certain year. I really hope one day there will be alternative fuels we can use ~ of course someone always has to make money so maybe they will be just as expensive. Thanks for taking the time to research this and let us know.

And I can remember how much cheaper his gas was. This was about 8 years ago. How thing have changed. <br><br>Huggers,<br>GaylaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541746302550046670.post-17130674281032737162008-04-03T21:15:00.000-07:002008-04-03T21:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for explaining this, Dirk.

B...ALL fuel is high, for the reasons you mentioned. But diesel stays up there all the time, because the demand for it is steady all year, because of the trucking industry. Virtually all heavy trucks are diesel-powered and since we run all year long, the demand never drops a lot at all. <br><br>LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541746302550046670.post-58885980663318014532008-04-07T05:38:00.000-07:002008-04-07T05:38:00.000-07:00It seems like they would be working against themse...It seems like they would be working against themselves to spike the price right before new dsl model vehicles came out; like that would drive consumers to opt for a high mpg gasoline engine instead. Bug (my 8 year old) thinks everyone should ride a bike every where they can. But unfortunately her plan wouldn't make much difference for us. I can't bike a 67 mile round trip to work each day. Nor a 20 mile round trip to the grocery store. And the 2 mile trip to the feedstore would be kinda useless....how does one pack 50# bags of feed on a bike?! Would work for visiting neighbors or going the one mile to church on a pretty day. ;o) - Barbara<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541746302550046670.post-52760490793052705242008-04-13T03:02:00.000-07:002008-04-13T03:02:00.000-07:00Rick is on a mission in our life to have different...Rick is on a mission in our life to have different kinds of cars before we die..we have never owned a minivan and he wants one....ok, our kids are grown or almost grown so why do we need a minivan..along those lines, he loves diesel cars.....and would like one. Well that was before this latest life changing fiasco in the US of the high gas prices. How does the politicians think the AVERAGE worker can afford food and GAS? We can not.
