Re: $3.00/gal

1.06 canadian per liter. It was 1.09 per liter on Vancouver Island last week.
Diesel is 1.00 per liter here

I think that a US gallon is around 3.5L, but I'm not sure

This is why I run my little Diesel powered car most of the time, it gets 50+ on a bad day

Re: $3.00/gal

Do you have those smart cars in the U.S., ugly diesel things made by Mercadies that get 80mpg?

I know that it's a UK web site but they're in Canada too

Re: $3.00/gal

Well Fuel just went up a dime a liter here today.
That's still about 0.30 U.S per gallon at once.
What a JOKE!

Re: $3.00/gal

im not sure about the fuel economy on diesels here, but prices are about the some for unleaded and diesel in denver. diesel used to be about .20 to .30 cents cheaper/gal. Why is gas so much over there? i figured that you spend $61.45canadian on 14 gallons (53Liters), which costs me $43.26..... after conversion rates you spend around $51USD. either was thats about 3 hours of work that i am working for.......JUST TO GET THERE.

Re: $3.00/gal

We pay a fortune in road taxxes.

I'm thinking of either making a small bio diesel plant for my Diesel car, or doing a conversion to run it off of used Veggi oil from the restraunts.

Either way I'm still hooped when I want to off road or go fishing with my Blazer

Re: $3.00/gal

Did adding the acetone to your gas get you better mileage dmbrisket?

Re: $3.00/gal

i thought the acetone didn't make much of a difference in the F/I engines, or at least as much as carbed engines.

over all, i think the conversion would be very cost effective, getting sone restaraunts to sell it may be a problem since the oil is "recycled". It can be filtered hundreds of times. Theres usually the mom and pop hamburger stands though.

Re: $3.00/gal

That's what they say about the acetone Mike, but I have a friend with a tour company that is saving about $30.00 Canadian every weekend in fuel costs since he tried it.

Where I live the restraunt's vegi oil isn't recycled and is actually a big problem.

If there's enough demand for it I wouldn't mind taking all the used oil, converting it to bio diesel and selling it.
The only local gas station owner would of course try to shut me down right away.
