Re: Price of Diesel?
 
The mesh is from local auto parts store...they have it in all sizes, but I
didn't put it on there it came on it when I bought the engine. I'm still in
Fl, but not familiar with 4 corners, where is that exactly?

Well, Diesel is actually just a bit better than home heating oil. Yes, it
does come out lower on the cracker than gasoline, but its also lower than
kerosene. Diesel could be thought of as cleaner #2 fuel with less parafin
and impurities, but with the addition of some additives. For cold
climates, kerosene is blended to improve starting and flow characteristics.

Diesel costs more than gas because States tax all Diesel fuel as if you
were driving a tractor-trailer. So really, anyone who drives a diesel
car, pickup, or SUV is getting overcharged because the tax is based on a
tractor-trailer's wear & tear on the roads, not a smaller vehicle.

Sounds to me like the basis for a class-action suite.
