Okay, that’s enough. We have to get control and run these crazy MF’ers off.

The costs per gallon unfortunately fail to express the additional maintenance costs involved in burning biofuels. The actual cost is likely to be 2-3x as much.

Probably cost $2000 to fill just the fuel feed line into an F-100 P&W engine.

How much does a gallon of JP4 run? I could see if that’s all we have to burn, but that would be the last resort. Burn the good stuff, and save the biofuel as a back up, if you need it for one of those SHTF scenarios.

$59/gal? No problem, the gov’t has plenty of money.

Considering the volume, this blows the 500 dollar hammer out of the water.

“Air Force spends $59 per gallon on biofuel”
And after it is hauled 500 miles on a KC-10 that spends an hour orbiting so it can offload to a thirsty flight of fighters over the Atlantic, it costs even more.
When people can create money out of thin air, they start to think how much they spend doesn’t matter, when in truth they are making future generations tax slaves to pay the debt run up by the current generation.
I thought we fought wars against people who wanted to enslave our children.

Plus the cost of damage to engines, etc.

Funny. In Bush’s days, we were getting for about 3-4 years free gas for the airforce from Kuwait for the Iraq ops...
It must be Bush’s fault Obama looks so bad.

Not to mention that when you get rid of the oil in oil fields, burning up or making roads with it, you actually clean the environment of gook in the process...

When they brought a tanker truck load from the Mid-west to an East Coast air base it had armed guard escort vehicles and was treated with the same procedures as nuke waste movement.

Is there no one in Washington who understands that we are broke?
Broke, broke, broke!

Never heard of 'free range potatoes'. Sounds like a scam. I use Luksusowa and open the vermouth bottle near the iced vodka, then pour over three pimento olives. Vodka must be freezer level cold.
I drink only one when I make them up, but the price of that Vodka you named would make a teetottler out of me!
