Replying to: jlbl (Apr 11, 2008 7:32 am) While traveling in Canada a few years ago we visited an old settlement that had been established by the French. They were called Acadians and they were forced out of Canada in the 1700's. Quite a few of them ended up in the U.S. in south Louisiana and are now know as our lovely Cajuns. Who would have guessed?

Replying to: hpowders (Apr 11, 2008 1:30 pm) I had a quick visit up there, and the weather was still winter, but I`l go back soon...Remember a while ago when we were talking about diesel? I asked the other day how our bio diesel plant was coming (the fuel doesn`t smell like diesel) and we are now making fuel....Of course the prices have gone up alot (raw material) and I wondered how we would be competative...Turns out we get a subsidy to make the fuel, and of course I thought it was for the U S A-- no all of it has been exported to Europe ( I`l find out if any gets to our friend Jose)...I have a feeling the big oil companies are going to manufacture a shortage of diesel therefore the price will rise even more than gas...Just my opinion....I really look forward to the next generation of hy-bred, so I might join Dewey with a Lexus--if it is worthwhile...In the meantime I sure look forward to the approaching time when you start to crank up.....Hasta manana Tony

Replying to: lexusguy (Apr 11, 2008 4:35 pm) Well yeah, except this was a "super center" parking lot, meaning HUGE!! Being that I don't work, I take the wife there only during week days when kids are supposed to be in school and most folks are at work-plenty of parking room, and even then, I always park as far away from the super center as humanly possible, which drives my poor wife absolutely insane! For some reason I cannot figure out, she seems to think I park the 545i far away from the store because it is a 'big car."

Replying to: anthonyp (Apr 11, 2008 5:09 pm) Unfortunately things don't look good for diesel prices in the US. This is why the truckers are all going nuts. World wide demand for diesel is continuing to grow, and unlike Europe, our refining capacity for diesel is only a small fraction of the capacity for gasoline and other fuels. By the time the diesels get here at the end of the decade, ULSD may be so expensive that their increased MPG will no longer make economic sense.
