So, what does it cost to fill your vehicle and does gas fluctuate much? Just curious:)

Are you asking the price for a tank of propane or gasoline?
How long is a piece of string, do you drive a Hummer, or a Rav4?

Jeep G.C. 4.7 ltr. reg. gasoline. About RD. $4,000. to fill from 1/8th of a tank. We don't drive much so lasts about 2 weeks.
As mbgmike says.... "i never worry about gas prices. i just pay. you can't do anything about it. price goes up faster then it drops."

I just put in 100 gallons of diesel for my generator. RD $200. per gallon. (US. $5.00 pg)
Last time I filled that tank, 500 gallons, was around 2004. I looked it up and paid around U.S. $2.31 pg back then.
When I designing and getting ready to build, diesel was around U.S. $0.83 pg..... 1998.

Some might find this site interesting but only goes to 2008. Pump prices around the world.

The only times I have ever used premium gasoline is when there is no regular available.
I have never owned a vehicle that did not run well on regular gasoline.
Why premium?

Well
1) it gives me higher mpg (both vehicles).
2) it is what both vehicle's maufacturers (BMW and Toyota) recommend. Parts are expensive, so I'm not willing to risk it.
3) both vehicles make funny intake valve sounds sometimes when regular fuel is used. I've been told this can be solved by tuning them to regular fuel (?). But given the previous two reasons, why bother?

I would bet premium is not really premium in the DR.

So my generator on 8 or 9 year old diesel, with conditioner, ran great and I always watched the exhaust for the color of the start up fumes. Gray with a little black then almost clear. No problems and never could smell much if any exhaust fumes. I DO service it a lot.

NEW diesel fuel, with conditioner.... smells like .......... it really smells. Start up now is... THICK AND BLACK for a lot longer and even after see's hot... I see gray. And it stinks.
