$640.00 to fill the tanks...

Strangely, diesel fuel in my neck of the woods is often MORE expensive
than regular gas. I would presume this is because they sell so much
less of it, but I honestly don't know the reason.

Jay, part of the reason is the additional filtration requirements.
In addition, the (airport) fuel trucks to service it are larger
and more expensive. The fuel hoses are larger.. it (generally)
takes longer (and more effort) to refuel Jet aircraft (Vs. piston
aircraft.) for overwing and of course single point equipment
is more expensive still. Much of the dispensing equipment
is capable of mixing in various additives during the fueling
process... the care and feeding of this post-mixing apparatus
is expensive.


There is also getting to be more and more demand for the stuff...
(for a number of reasons) and where demand is up so goes the price,
often erasing much advantage over gasolene.

For those that want to curse out the peoples of the middleast
because they are making $$$$$$$$ on producing and selling crude
oil I would say this: quit bitching and get busy producing the
stuff yourself and start making money like they are. If you don't
want to do that then shut up and start riding a bike.

Man, is it the full moon, or everyone's time of the month, or what? Jay
never bitched word one about the mid-east, or as you say, "middleast" or
whatever the h*ll that is.

Another for the looney bin.

From Wikipedia:
The Middle East is a loosely defined term for the historical and cultural
subregion of Africa-Eurasia traditionally held to be countries or regions
in Southwest Asia together with Egypt. In other contexts, the region can
include other parts of North Africa and/or Central Asia.

Yeah.. it seems whenever people have no real point to make
other than to inject themselves into a thread they will
make a comment about someones spelling or typing.

Note the smushed spelling.
