Pumps' Perplexities

Continuing on the topic of dropping gasoline prices, I remembered
about diesel fuel.......Diesel is in the family of kerosene, number one
fuel oil and jet fuel......It all depends on the refining process.....

Years ago diesel was cheap.....Yes there was an engine that could
use it, but no body owned the engine.......Back in the 70's, with the
first skyrocketing of gasoline prices, a lot of people went to diesel
powered cars......Ha, diesel was cheaper........

Not so anymore......Every over-the-road trucker is running on
diesel fuel.......There may be a few pickup trucks that still "burn"
the stuff.......And the owners of these trucks are proud that they
own "A Diesel".......

Well as usual......Gasoline today, in Jabunyaville, is $2.23 per
gallon......Diesel is $2.79.......When it comes down to it, you
really can not "beat" the system.......

I also remember the fuel oil - natural gas wars, which involved
household heating.......Pumps
