Gasoline $12.00 -- $15.00

[Toolman]

Drill more domestic oil. Anyone hear about this Bakken oil field out in Montana? I hear 500 billion barrels of light sweet crude under the shale. Read that technology is now available to extract at a cost of $16 barrel. Congress again thumbed it down to drill. The insanity is mind boggling to me. I feel their is an element in Congress that wants this Country to fall. I can't come up with any other explanation. I guess if somebody else paid for my fuel to go to and from work, what would I care. These irresponsible clowns need vote out. It's bordering on criminal.

In the early eighties when gas went above a dollar a gallon the pumps could not handle so they switched to liters.  that was really confusing to people as Metric was just coming into use in the USA.

Down here, you can get fined $500 for litering, Farmerdoug.

Tom, driving around in some of these dinosaurs is a form of littering.

gday

I did the conversion today and Its costing me  $6.80 a gal at the moment this time last year we paid $4.50 gal  . My one ton 88 mod Falcon ute 4.1 strait 6 cyl gets 60 miles on 2.6 us gal . and my 78 mod 9 ton Inter ACCO tray truck  does a 9 ton del to Melbourne and back loaded one way and uses $95.00 worth of LPG Gas on a 185 mile round trip . it has a 345 V8 pet on gas and a 10 speed eaton box I average 52 mph 85 ks per hour .ticks ppl of tho. speed limits are 62 to 68.3 mph 100 to 110 kph
on the open road over here . my 80 hp perkins pwrd circular sawmill uses 15 to 16 gal per 8 hours of actual sawing time . I think the trick is to find gear thats tight on fuel . Im going to go on to a 6 71 GM WOOD GAS powerd genset for the sawmill soon.
