in Ireland it has just passed the Euro mark per litre - that's USD5.44 a

Perhaps this kind of price in the US will be enough to get people's

The batteries are warranted for 8-10 year or 80K/100K miles.

There cost is in the $7000 bracket.

I was going to attempt to make my own. Regular stir plates cost more than I am willing to spend.

Water is heavy and sticks to the car and fills
divets in the bed of the truck (adding weight), plus the rain hitting the car
makes it have to work harder to maintain speed, and on top of all that the water
on the ground means your tires have you be turned with more force to get through
it.
I was thinking of attaching a permanent magnet to an the rotating part of an old juicer. I still want to try it just to see if I can make it work, but I think I will try something a bit more straightforward first...Joe Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
