This was funny. We filled up that barrel under LJ's truck on the way to Hollister at the Pilot north of Madera. We paid 2.859/gallon. Pulled back on the highway and something caughter my eye...they changed the price to $2.919 or something like that. Went up 6 cents. Would have cost about $4 more to fill that sucker.

Really, Can you say what company it is? I am going to do some research on the pros and cons. Wife's not so sure on it. If I can get a steady flow of oil from the restaurants[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] than I can see where it would be beneficial. By my calculations I would be saving around $300 a month[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Remember, you'll still need to pay your road taxes (IIRC 70 cents or so total. About 1/2 and 1/2 to Uncle Sam and the rest to Aunt Samantha.) And your neighbors might be thinking you're making up some crank in the backyard. LOL. The nice thing is, other than the methanol, everything is pretty environmentally friendly. Biodiesel decomposes or whatever they call it pretty quickly.

The plant comes on a skid and the storage (feedstock, methanol and whatever they are using for the caustic soda/whatever it is they use as well as the finished product) is outside.
