Fuel prices here in NorCal shot up immediately when Katrina hit--no lag time for the "more expensive fuel to get here." I know it's a global market thing, but these f-ers look for any excuse to jack up fuel prices. We've all seen the video of the looting in New Orleans but I've heard people are getting looted at the pump by price gouging.

You're right Daryl--now even the commercially produced biodiesel here is cheaper than the petrol. I wonder if the oil companies know there are tons of people ready to convert.

Long term I am going to get one of the standard 40 series auxiliary tanks, put a heater in it, run the main tank on bioD or combo for starting, then WVO from the aux tank as the main fuel. Chevron etc.

Diesel here is now $3.50 per gallon.
