I think gas was around $5.30/gal and Diesel around 4.60 or something like that... the email is on my other computer... speaking (OT) of computers... I finally got my wireless ethernet bridge setup working. moved my wifes Linux/Winxp box up to my son's old room, installed a TV tuner card as well... works with both linux and windows even.. way cool, and cheaper than another tv for use with the treadmill... The next step with my computer network is to setup my file server as a print server, get this little laptop in the kitchen to work wireless in Linux (it's a sony viao... got it working with linux suse 9.1!!!, but not on wireless yet, but hey, 9.2 is soon to come out)... my fujitsu laptop is almost always in suse 9.1... still need to get the palm/cell to sync with linux... did get the digital camera to connect to it... so... the migration FROM windows is almost complete... 1) sony vaio wireless in linux 2) fujitsu to sync palm in linux 3) get the infrared remote control for the tv tuner to work in linux 4) setup the linux print server. the list has shrunk considerably... soon no more worries about viruses, worms and microsoft critical warnings... linux just keeps getting better and better... now, if Diesel prices would only drop back down a bit then life would be even better... :) Oh, back on topic for a second... I'm a little concerned about running wvo or biodiesel in my '91 because of the high pressure injection system. The fuel door says NO additives... I ran some injector cleaner through and a seal on the throttle shaft started leaking... bad... I didn't put any additive in it since about July, and the leak has stopped, mileage is still good... no more puddles of Diesel under the car... so if you've got the newer Diesels you might be careful about experimenting... get a 123 or 126 to play with, parts are cheaper and it should work quite well like that. later, john On Tue, 19 Oct 2004, Sam Williams wrote: >-->Today I found a Biodiesel distributor in Austin, Texas.
