Gas was $3.35 and diesel was $4.29. That's about what it is here in Oregon. Is it time to give up the 'SD for a 90's Bonneville/LeSabre? Same room (perhaps a bit more) and the fuel mileage is good. One can be had around here for sub kilobuck range. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267Kmi,

Interesting that you mention this... remember when someone on the list was talking about wood gas? When I visited my former (and now current) business partner a few months ago, he took me out to his barn (really a 40 x 60 steel building) and pointed out this contraption on a trailer. I'll bet
