The advantage of the diesel engines will be more apparent when gasoline and diesel fuel climb to $10/gallon...we can switch to straight peanut oil and keep on trucking.
I feel bad for commercial drivers, housewives with Yukons and X5's should be ashamed of themselves....nobody with 7-passenger seating has ever had 7 passengers.

You guys should come to the UK and pay $8.70 US gal then you can really start complaining.
Be Happy.
I used to get a 20% advantage at the pump. These days I'm reduced to a little less than 10%.

The delta BC and perhaps Vancouver area just experaince a shocker of a one day price drop in fuel. This may have resulted from a provincial or federal scathing report of price fixing of the oil industry. Our fuel comes from alberta not the middle east but the oil companies here are tied to OPEC price structor. The price of unleded fuel went from $1.30 per litter to $1.16 - 1.20 the next day. Pretty obvios the refineries and opec are lying about the shortage of fuel. I hope this continues in the downward spiral. BTW the goverment should get more involved and build a refinery of its own or re regulate the fuel industry.
It's nice to have diesel below regular by a long shot But
I want to get my 3B to Seattle for a visit to www.frybird.com for a wvo system install.
Anybody running a system like this in Calagry?

It's all based on the local economy:
last time I was in London, a Big Mac or any other common consumer item was about the same in British Pounds as it was in Canadian $$.
So, let's say a Big Mac was CAD $1.85, it was L1.85 in London. And other things too... babysitters here don't get $20/hr. like in the UK (when you do the conversion).
You're quite welcome to move to Canada... and bring your Land Cruiser with you

Ditto ..
Let's talk about min salary. Here in Panamá 258 USD.. with 3.48 USD/g 95 oct gas .. pretty expensive.
Usually meal ( burgger, soda and french fries ) in McDonalds are around 2.98 USD ..
Diesel in Woodbury, CT - $3.09 vs $3.44 for regular gas.
Fuel in Woodbury tends to be 10 to 20 cents higher than in some parts of CT.
I think the higher diesel price was due to the switch over from LSD to ULSD.
Now that the switch over is done (at least around here) the price of diesel has stabilized.
A lot of the price hikes is due to limited refinery capacity and switch overs. The Feds require a different fuel mix in the winter and summer.

try eating mc'dicks in finland...its like 10 euro once the smoke clears...and its still crap! oh and also when comparing fuel prices among different countries you might want to take into consideration the grade of fuel, in finland the lowest grade avail is 95 octane (i think, or whatever our mid grade is) and premium is 98 i think...and gas prices here dont fluxuate nearly as much. diesel has stayed at .99€/L for at least the last couple weeks and the 95 is somwhere around €1.20 but then everything is more expensive here, which sucks
I believe the octane ratings are the same, they use a different form of measurement which yields a higher number, but chemically-speaking, it's identical to the north American counterpart.
They use RON or MON and we use the vice-versa in North America
You can, easily.... sorta... actually it's by adding used fryer oil to diesel fuel, and yes it does make the fuel cheaper if you consider the used oil and the time filtering it as 'free'.You must find a way to run your Landcruiser on Big Macs....would be cheaper!
I'm seeing diesel here in Houston for $2.69/gallon and up to $2.79/gallon. The average seems to be from twenty to thirty cents per gallon LESS than regular unleaded. JOY!!!
