Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

Trucking companies find ways to save on fuel, go green

Napa Valley Register, CA -

Quote:

If consumers say ouch while filling up the family sedan at the gas pump, then truck drivers are screaming with pain.

Diesel fuel costs more than unleaded gas, and big rigs don’t get much more than five to six miles per gallon. Adding salt to the wound is that diesel prices seem to rise a couple of cents each day.
Diesel is what drives the trucking industry.

Slowing down and not idling the engine are two strategies people who drive for a living say they are using to trim their fuel bills.
But even then, fuel surcharges are being initiated, say many in the Napa Valley’s trucking industry.
