Diesel has cost more than gasoline all winter here, currently running at $1.30/L while gasoline remains at 1.16/L. Doesn't the price of diesel usually fall in the summer as opposed to gasoline's rise? I'm getting the best mileage I have ever got since I bought the truck at 10.3L/100km highway driving (I seem to get sightly better mileage in the city, probably due to the low, low gearing of the Paj). In February my mileage dropped to over 13L/100km but I seemed to have corrected that by fitting larger tires (32") to drop my cruising RPM to about 2900 (before with 29" tires I was cruising at 3300RPM!), cleaning out the EGR and intercooler and getting an alignment adjustment done. I'm also running cold tire pressures that are little higher at 34 PSI for highway driving.

I see the writing on the wall though and I think I'm going to start up bio production this summer. If there is any sort of foreign crisis the price of oil is going take off. I wouldnt be completely surprised to see prices hit 1.65 - 1.70/L this summer and at that price I can no longer afford to drive period. I've been running %100 bio periodically from the pump and the Pajero seems pretty happy on it.
