Gas prices continue to fall? Options

I bet this is killing the E85 people. I was watching Motorweek the other day and they were doing a follow up on how popular it was becoming in the midwest, probably mainly due to it's lower price at the time. The signs they were showing were around $2.80 for regular unleaded and around $2.25 for E85. If regular unleaded falls back below the E85 price for a good while, I bet it'll really retard the sale of E85 new vehicles.

Not sure if it's everywhere in the Midwest. I don't know anyone running it because they only price it $.20/gal cheaper then regular around here. At that price, you'd have to be stupid to run it.

I'd love to run Biodiesel in my truck, but I'll be damned if I can find it around here.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You can make it yourself. I saw an episode of 'Trucks' where they made their own biodiesel. I don't remember the name of the company that made the equipment, but the price didn't seem that bad for someone who needed larger volumes of fuel. The process seemed pretty simple and the only thing you needed was used cooking oil and (I think) lye.

If I can find the company name, I'll post it for you.

I don't have the time... not to make it, or chase down the used oil to use to make it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

And methanol. There is a great thread on CC about a guy making his own bio. He started in his blender, and now makes it by the 55 gallon drum. He has been petro free for several months IIRC.

Corner Carvers is still down, otherwise I would post a link, but the thread is almost 6 pages and is in the Engine section. Very good read IMO if you want to learn about bio and how it affects your engine.
