Unless the price of crude drops drastically, the price probably won't change until spring, when heating oil won't be in demand. The price of 100ll is varying by region like never before, and I'm not exactly sure why...


Heating oil and gas are different and not dependant on each other. Now as I understand it Diesel or heating oil can be refined from crude, but not both. Gas and heating oil can both be refined from crude if I understand it correctly. Heating drives the diesel fuel price and I assume jet fuel, but not gas.


Heating oil, Diesel, Kerosene, and Jet fuel are all basically the same thing, just refined to different standards, and with different additives. All petroleum products are refined from crude oil, and the demand for any petroleum product can effect the pricing for all petroleum products.

As long as you can grow assloads of sugar cane, yes. We will eventually get there with whatever because the one thing I'm sure of, if money can be made from "it" somebody will figure out how to do "it".
I personally think nuclear for the power, and hydrogen to fuel vehicles. The only problem with hydrogen is where do you get it?

My FBO recently dropped 100LL from $5.75 to $3.89. I think it all depends on how much expensive stuff their sitting on.

Enjoy it while it lasts. This world is gettin weird.
