I just stopped by Sams Club & priced soy oil.
$15.78 - 35# soy oil
This comes to 5.8 gallons, based on my unscientific bathroom scale.
At 5.8 gallons, 35#'s works out to $2.70 / gallon.
Plus 8% local sales tax = $2.92 / gallon.
Diesel is running around $3.50 / gallon around here

Pump prices are somewhat independent of crude prices (there are other
factors, such as the upcoming demand for home heating oil that will

That notwithstanding, pump prices will lag from 30 to 6
These days, a 42 gallon barrel of crude is about $95.
I'm stunned that I can still buy gas at the pump, taxes and all,
for less than $3.20. (but diesel is over $3.50, and kerosene
is more than that) When gas hit $3.20 in the summer of '06, I believe
crude was a bit under $80.
