RE: IML: Rubber fuel line question..

[joestill1@xxxxxxxxxxx (Joe)]

Dick (& all interested):

 

I hear diesel fuel is going up, up, up even more so than reguluar fuel for a variety of reasons (oil costs, refining capacity, refinery shut downs, etc.), but on the way to drop the boat off at the shop for maintenance, I paid $2.19 per gallon, here in Allen, 25 miles north of Dallas.

 

That is the cheapest I have seen in several weeks and except for

the Crown (<== Imperial content), diesel fuel is all we buy.

 

I don't think it is going to get any better, either.
