when diesel fuel was so expensive, until I calculated the cost per mile of driving my car vs. theirs. A gasoline engine car typically gets about 30-35 mpg at best over here, where I get 53 mpg with the Weedeater. It works out that it costs me about 70% as much as it costs them to drive the same distance.
I think that when I can afford to do so, I'll replace the Weedeater with another diesel car. For one thing, one of the guys I work with brews his own biodiesel out of used cooking oil- if I can copy his setup, it will only cost me about a buck a gallon, instead of about three bucks. He uses his to heat his house and run his tractor.
