Right now K1 heating fuel is over $700.00 for 150 Gallons(minimum delivery). 1 traditional fuel tank holds 275 Gallons. Multiply that by a couple of tanks for best case. Then do the math on what it is costing many people to heat their homes.

There you go, someone is getting a kickback.


Possible that commie f*ck-wad Joe Kennedy (aren’t they all?), friend of Hugo Chavez and the “Venezualan people.” Joey-boy ran the commie Hugo’s oil-for-kennedys program.

Off road diesel is dyed red and moves into home heating and mining, logging, etc.
How will anyone know which gallon to tax ?


They know. Mrs. Peet works for a small regional fuel company and does taxes and suchlike accounting. Record-keeping is finnicky to say the least. You can cheat if you want, but you better be willing to do the time if you get caught...

I buy dyed diesel by the 5-gallon can for my Cub Cadet tractor. You can not use it (legally) in on-road vehicles since the (same as gasoline) tax for highway maintenence isn’t levied on dyed diesel.

Reminds me of a joke (doesn’t EVERYthing?)

[Orvill and Cooter are sittin’ on the front porch after a long day workin’ in the fields.]

Orvill: Hey, Cooter, lookey there.

Cooter: Wut?

Orvill: Ain’t them city folk siphonin’ fuel out of your Deere?

Cooter: Yep.

Orvill: Aintcha gonna do anythin’ about it?

Cooter: Nope.

Orvill: Why not?

Cooter: I wanna see how far that fancy automobile goes on deisel...

You are right. Most home heating oil is used in the backwaters of the Northeast and New England, blue cesspools all. 'Rats must be pretty confident that they have those suckers in the bag.

D’joo read this crap? No matter, by the time I can put some oil in the now-empty tank, I’ll have survived a third winter on it anyways!

I don’t think the Feds will be happy until people start burning garbage inside their houses to stay warm in the winter.
