It seems there is no better motivator for Americans than the dollar. I was truly excited when retail gas prices hit the $4.50/gallon mark this summer. Incentives for fuel alternatives were a mainstream concern. Too bad the prices have fallen again. The US is heavily under taxed on fuel by comparison to European nations, but it looks like America has just swept that issue under the rug again.

While I still have an engine aboard my boat, I’m looking forward to filling my tank with some biodiesel made at a small local outfit. And plans for my retreat to France, where fuel costs almost what it should, are fully underway.
Outdated price data here, but…

This is the notebook (I’m tired of the word blog) of BCC Elizabeth… I’ve dreamed of owning Bristol Channel Cutter for roughly 14yrs. The deal has not been executed officially, but a deposit was made, a survey conducted, and the Bill of Sale signed and mailed. Chickens don’t hatch when you count the eggs… and water doesn’t boil if you watch it… so I’ll avert my eyes from this pot and let it hatch on it’s own for now. I’ll be back when my name is on the Documentation.
