Current thoughts are to keep your tanks full, filling when you have room,
cost averaging downward. I was forced to buy a few loads this summer at the highest prices. As prices drifted down, I kept waiting, letting our tanks get pretty empty. We have storage for 35,000 gallons. A semi load is 8500 gallons, but I can split the load between products depending on the truck. You can do the math, but the load I got yesterday cost just over $23k. When we're busy we use a load of diesel fuel every 2-3 weeks, but gasoline is much slower, about a load per month spit between 89NL and 89+lead. One more load was a physical cap. Our gas tanks are full, diesel 3/4. Our LP tank is 30,000 gallons and a semi load of LP is about 9500 gallons. Main use of LP is for drying corn, drying potatoes after washing, and heating buildings. Thankfully we didn't plant much corn, so I don't have to worry about filling that tank every 7-10 days during harvest. You've got a great question about the % of each type of fuel consumed. I hope somebody finds that answer it would be very interesting. Jim |

This is why I asked: "The big news was that the terror threat poked a hole in the fuel bubble by questioning how much fuel the airlines would be using." To which I wonder, how much do they normally use? http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/info_glance/petroleum.html Found below link at this site. http://makeashorterlink.com/?N292153AD (Same link as below ...wait for it) http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/analysis_publications/oil_market_basics/dem_image_us_cons_prod.htm Info for 2004 Montblack |
