Who knew? Despite the oil industry ripoff, our fuel costs came in less than expected. I attribute this to less driving because of workamping. The scary thing [...] […] I was overestimating fuel costs at $3.75 a gallon. Who knew? Despite the oil industry ripoff, our fuel costs came in less than expected.

This is Ariadne from the Simple Living forums (the one who used to live in Cutten) ... we'll be on the road ourselves next year, tho not full time. We've bought a fifth wheel and Diesel pickup ... and are using biodiesel too. Here in Boise Stinker stations carry B5, and Pacific Pride carries B20. However, since Pacific Pride is commercial only, we had to join a consortium to get a card, but it's well worth it! And we had to agree to use it only for biodiesel, which is no problem. However, in DH's searching he's found that most Pacific Pride stations across the nation do not carry biodiesel, so I guess we're pretty lucky here. There is a biodiesel plant in New Plymouth, Idaho, "just down the road", so perhaps that's why we can get B20. He's done a lot of searching on the biodiesel site as well. Don't know that we'll ever make our own, tho as "old hippies" at HSU (then HSC) you never know what we might decide to do ... :-) Really really enjoy reading your blog. You're such an inspiration! Write on! Hi Rene …

We won't be converting to <a href="http://www.greasecar.com/" target="_blank" alt="grease car systems" rel="nofollow">straight greasel</a> any time soon! At least not on this trip while there is a quite vital fifth wheel hitch and tool box in the back of our truck! Perhaps once we land somewhere, René <strong>might</strong> be able to convince me to replace the toolbox with the auxiliary tank required for SVO. Perhaps. Never mind hoarding the grease for us!

Luckily it's only about 20 minutes away. So we can hook you up here. Should we start stockpiling Vegie oiil??
