You no longer need to wonder why gasoline prices are so expensive.
The following isn't a hotel.
It's a house owned by the family of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan,
the former president of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu-Dhabi.

I heard that Michael Jackson is moving to an Arab country. Maybe he has bought that place.

sad how readily some people believe such bs. puerto rico atm is at around 63.7 cents/liter regular at a cheap station. that's equivalent to 2.40.1 per gallon

Coors uses beer waste to make gas substitute
http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/26/build/business/45-coors.inc

Knight Ridder News

GOLDEN, Colo. -Two Colorado-based companies are finding that one answer to lessening the country's dependence on foreign fuel imports might be hiding in the six-pack that you carry home from the grocery store.

"One more gallon (of ethanol) produced here means one less gallon of gas we get from outside the country."

well, if you want to go alternate fuel, buy an old diesel. talk to your local burger joints and tell them you want to dispose of their deep fryer fat for them, and you have a source of free fuel.

there's a fella here in phx (one of the donors at my center) that brews that stuff...has some 50 gal drums in his back yard...goes around and collects used grease from restaurants...talkes it home...mixes up the "recipe" and presto chango u have diesel fuel and he burns it in his own cars...for much less than he can buy it for...

no need to brew it. ask him, i bet he'll tell you that all he does is filter it very well. for cold weather you need to mix it with real diesel though, since the cooking oil gets too viscous or even starts solidifying. it helps to park in a heated garage then or have a fuel prewarmer, after an automobile magazine in germany started running a series about running an old diesel vw rabbit on store-bought cooking oil the local discount stores upped their prices on it.

Good show, Mr. Netmasta...I stand corrected on that one...I had a feeling Ebaum's site was a pile of rubbish.

there actually is a recipe and a refining process...he gave my supervisor the instructions...i kinda glanced over it and it's more complicated than just dumping warm oil (grease) in ur tank...there's a process...that's why he has several drums...for all the steps of the process.
