LOL when I used to pump wells around Fort Worth I had some wells where the distillate (drip) was of such high quality you could use it in a zippo lighter and it would flame about 6 inches, or you could put additives in it and run it in your truck.

People used to sneak in and steal it by the 55 gallon drum. Had to be careful because you would start your vehicle but couldnt get it to turn off!

Good news about distillates. However, it’d be nice if the damned EPA would certify more diesel-powered passenger vehicles - basically, you either buy a VW product, or you have to pay tons of money for a BMW or Mercedes or similar vehicles. I’d LOVE to see a diesel hybrid - it’d blow the Prius out of the water, getting 20% better mileage. It bothers me a lot that our freedom of choice is severely hampered, while we manufacture diesel vehicles by the shipload for export to Europe.

“Refineries in the U.S. still average about 1.5 times as much gasoline as distillate from each barrel of oil refined, up from about 2 times from the 1990s to 2004.”

What?

Does anybody think about what they write anymore? Are these journalism majors because they certainly are not math mavens.
