    It's quit likely I'm cornfused about the diesel price. I am sure I have seen a few gas prices below 1.87.

    NOrmally it would but we've got a massive amount of supply
    in gas and oil, (gas being natural) so it's not going to do jack.

    One of the good things about extra oil is we get a stable market

    Now write your congressperson, even if it's a dumbocrat
    and tell them to back the Keystone Pipeline so we can start
    buying oil from Canada and eliminate Venezuela

    Heres the F'ed up deal...oil companies up here offer you 3 choices..1) pre buy in bulk 2) lock in a price or 3)off the rack. Luckily I chose off the rack price because those who've chose to lock in on a price don't get the benefit of the reduced price because they locked in on a speific price. Yeah I know its BS because if the price goes down one would think to give the benefit of that to the customers but they don't. Man I'm lucky because normally I lock in on a price and which has usually worked out in my favor. Lst year and this year were the only times I've chosen off the rack proces.

    Hell I used to pump Amoco for Pop at $ .259 for premium "white" gas (and he was .02 higher than company owned stations) and buy marlboro from his machine for $ .25 pack. (when he wasn't around!). cough, cough!

    Its either #1 which is pure kero or #2 a Kero blend. #2 is the cheaper of the 2 but can freeze in line so hopefully you're tank is in the basement.

    Lol I learned something I didn't know. We had some old fired vaporizers where I used to work. I think they could run on natural gas or fuel oil. We never used the oil.
