    I would check out snopes.com for that. It won't really affect anything.

    Sure, makes a ton of since. Plan on not getting gas that day, then go and fill back up the next day..

    If you use 5 gallons a day, but skip a day, you'll just have to get 10 gallons filled back up the following day. They aren't loosing anything.

    $2.69-2.71 here now. 87 octane is $3.09 some places.

    To the guy who posted here that he's glad he has a gasoline-burning truck; estimates are that diesel would have to rise at least $1/gal over the price of 87octane for it not to be an advantage.

    My truck gets 23+mpg at 65mph(and the motor is not even broken in yet). The same truck with a Hemi would be lucky to see 15mpg at that speed. And think of towing(no don't think of it).:rolleyes:

    First off, up till two and a half years ago, diesel was ALWAYS cheaper than gasoline by quite a lot...............so I figure we've been getting screwed the past 2+ years. :stir: Secondly, diesel takes less refinement...............tho I've 'heard' the new processes are pretty close to equal.
