Report from a friend working at a gas station sees gas prices at or near $3 a gallon earlier then september. Try something like the end of next week. With BP and CP shutting down several units, on top of the already growing problem with Iran, and not to mention the soon to be named Hurricane on the way the money people are scared. It's seems like were all screwed. This will sure keep my driving to a minimum.

Yup, gonna be chatting with my boss about making a standard "work from home" day, one or two days a week.
Bought a new car today that get's a LITTLE better mileage than my old car. Went from averaging 17-20mpg to 23-25mpg. Not a big difference. But other reasons for needing a different car  |

Regular is about $2.35 around here, and those 20 gallon tanks hurt to fill up! |
I know your pain... my truck get's about the same as your TrailBlazer, and I'm putting about 350 miles on it a week (about 70 miles a day back and forth to work). |

Ive heard about the grease car... I guess it does'nt take too much to convert a regular gas engine over to a grease engine. With some new injectors and a few odds and ends your running on grease.
I wonder though if your entire car ends of smelling like a bag of potato chips. Or french fries, Maybe this is just another ploy by the fast food joints to get us to buy there food. I mean if your constantly smelling it then you're gonna crave it sooner or later.
But $4 a month to fill the car... Count me in

YES, it does. A trucking/excavation company near my house uses this.
One truck went by last night, smelled just like Dairy Queen.
I hope they pass on the fried fish oil, I was stuck behind a car on the highway with that smell, couldn't pass, and had to pull off after a few miles. (so I didn't pass out  )
