And check your state laws on that one before doing it. Here in NC there is a lawsuit over a group doing this as the state figures the group owes money in the form of a fuel tax that really takes away a lot of the financial benefit of doing the work.

HA, you underestimate my cheap-ness. My wife swears I squeek when I walk. :p
That said, the time to construct the apparatus and gather the oil is what's stopping me. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, soccer, duties as DA of tech, and squeezing a race in every now and then pretty much sucks up all my free time. That and the fear of what it might do to my tow vehicle - I already have one engine rebuild in progress, I don't need another.
Greg you take all the fun out of it! Diesel hit 3.99/9 today TW
We're gettin' close here in CT. My $3.99 place from last week was still there this AM, but this afternoon my fav/lowest place nearby went up 10c overnight to $3.85.
This is going to be a very long and painful summer...
$4.19/gal from the same place as above; 20c more than it was when I went to work this morning.
As this continues, the number and distance of races I'm attending this year is quickly dwindling...right now we're looking at ~$70 each round trip in diesel just to go to Lime Rock, which is 1.5 hours away, and we sleep at home. $150 in diesel to go to NHIS, 3 hrs away. IT Fest would cost ~$500 and the ARRC over $800 -- and that's with today's price...
Nice to be a Leader ours went to 4.05/9 Must be Conn wanted to beat California.
Socal was $4.09 this afternoon
What is the latest price for race fuel at the tracks.
Our contract price is 3.07/9 expires in July might be a good idea to force a delivery before locked in rate expires!!! When We bought house in 1965 we paid 16.7 and got 150 Gals free for becoming a customer(damn I'm old)
Yup, and on top of that big news this weekend was the failure of one of the major oil delivery companies in Waterbury CT. 4:30 PM Friday announced business closure and locked the doors. Affects their business plus at least 5 more that they owned.
Other companies are scrambling to pick up the slack, but they're going to have to do it with wholesale spot-priced oil. I expect this will cause economical reverberations state-/region-wide...and I don't expect them to be the last...
It's gonna be a loooong summer....
Biodiesel is still $3.50 here in NC. All of a sudden it makes GREAT sense!
Get filled before you lose that price. I filled my tanks for my 3 buildings for about 2.30+ last year. I just wrote to our state Senator about the prices. Like Bush and gas, I wonder if he even knows the price is high? Did you ever feel like you were in a vise?:( I can be thankful for what I have but feel for the lower income people. How in the hell are they going to afford to heat their homes.
If I can race at all this year, it might only be local.
4.13/9 jumped about 1:00 Pm Had filled Saturday at a Station that was still 3.99/9
:( $4.17/9 and regular UL 3.28/9
I just saw 4.04 a gal today!!!!In clermont fl.
$4.07 to 4.19 in CT. Last night, at least...
