Stupid fu**in world.

Cooking Oil is now the same price as petrol here!

WTF is that all about.

I give up,

I used to run my Van on cooking oil to save money.

I need to change some things

Wow... Now you can see why the duty should not be placed on biodiesel. How are you going to get that industry started if the raw material costs the same as the competitions final product!

I hear you get a few more MPG out of biodiesel vs regular. Do you convert it to biodiesel on your own Orfy?

I don't know what to say. Sounds like a crock of **** to me, but I'll bet the cooking oil industry probably has the same ridiculous excuses as the regular oil industry regarding their high prices.

Maret forces and all that. As soon as you find an alternative, they will adjust thier profit margins. It sucks.

I was shocked when I saw that corn oil was 4x the price canola oil at Costco last week. I knew ethanol has messed up the corn market, but I didn't realize it was that bad.

No.

Last year it was half the price and I used it raw.

Plenty of room over here. And despite 1776 and 1812, we still like the Brits!

How tall are you and are you claustrophobic? I might be able to fit you in a suitcase on my next trip over.

The Brits... they hate the French.

To be fair, we only hate people that hate us. But since we screwed over most of the world in quite a nasty way at one time or another, that's quite a lot of people that hate us that we, in return, must hate back. I think most Brits have given up on it all....it's just too confusing to bother hating other nationalities any more. However, if you ever want to make 60 million people happy, the best way would be to get a huge laser and write "F#ck off Germany" on the moon.

To be fair, petrol is highly regulated in both the US and the UK... It's more likely that the government guys with guns are meddling with the price than the market.

Oil is scarce, prices are high, consumers are eco-minded. If it was up to the market, we'd be driving solar/hydrogen/air/electric vehicles because it would simply be the more cost effective thing based on customer demand. When things don't make sense, look for government interference.

The free market is an AMAZING delivery system for what people want and need and nobody's feeling particularly satisfied at the moment.

Be glad your vehicle doesn't run on bottled water or NyQuil.

See, now you could do that with the French, turn around and walk away laughing. But if you did that with the Germans, you'd still turn around and walk away laughing, but you'd check behind you every now and then.

I'm down to the last six litres. What time is Richard Branson's first flight to the moon?

Sounds like you need to reduce you dependence on oil.

One word...Ethanol.

Orfy, time to start raiding the grease traps of the fish and chip places. Sure, you'll be photographed 63529 times doing it, but try it anyways!

Lookout, they are using rape seed/canola for making biodiesel.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Yah, the eco down in Corvallis that has been pushing me to use biodiesel in my van told me last month that the price is higher than dino. Used to be cheaper. To underline the hopelessness of burning food for fuel: If all of the animal fat and vegetable oil produced in the USA was converted to biodiesel, it would last until the 22nd of January.

Yeah, Texas and Germany... sounds like a dangerous combination. Seriously, watch your back.

Texas and Germany. A match made in heaven?

Corn oil prices are nuts. We used to use corn oil exclusively at work (we manufacture stuff like tortilla chips, corn chips, etc.), but corn oil prices forced us to make a move to sunflower oil on most products.

Acutally, Texas and Bavaria have a lot in common.

I'm hoping that is the case. In fact I'm banking on it! I get the impression that we are doomed to disagree on probably every topic in the druck section.....And I have a hard time keeping my stupid trap shut so.........


I'm hoping he's just a big ol' fluffycat really!


Ain't that right Ed? Big 'ol banter lovin' fluffycat? Jeez, I HOPE so!!
