    i am at $82-85 for a tank in the truck but that's almost 30 gallons in a 35 gallon tank, 17 mpg gets me around 500 miles of mosquito fogging fun, not sure what it would get with a normal person driving
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it

    hopefully we will sell this house soon and i will be able to have a shop to **** around in and will build a biodiesel processor at our next diggs, depending on what you pay for methanol and lye and if you extract the unused methanol from the glycerine you drain off, average reported cost if you get your wvo free is .70 a gallon but those who distill the methanol from the glycerine waste claim to be close to .50 a gallon, not couting a few bucks worth of electricity a batch for the heaters
