Fuel
Not sure where this conversation should be listed...
I can find most anything on the internet
Some reason all searches come up empty.
simply want to know the current fuel cost in other areas of the world.
anyone have a website with this info....
This issues (fuel cost) is going to cause major fallout around this country.....
Bulk purchase and hold? hijacking? This is sneaking up on american people. with people only rubbing their hands together in wonder?

For those of us with 2 strokes here is a link to the current prices in Mexico;

I hope that the Borders get a little safer and I'll just go to Los Algodones or San Luis to fill up

Steve, can you legally burn that fuel here? If so why not have it brought over.

Yeah Russo, we wouldn't want to damage the environment! Remember it is better for us to pay thru the nose than it is to pollute the air.
It is o.k. for Mexico to burn high sulfur diesel but not the U.S. As a matter of fact, it is o.k. for everyone on the planet to burn high sulfur diesel as long as we don't.
Boy, I sure hope that I have not offended anyone by this post!

Yes yes Tuga.......soooooo tired of regulations etc.
Anyone considering running high sulfur fuel should be sure to use an engine oil that has at least a 10 TBN rating. Sulfuric acid will cause increased wear on the engine.

Hi Forest, According to Shell's data sheet the 15W40 Rotella is TBN-E 11.5 so your good.
If you are using the 40W that is probably Rotella T1. I think the TBN is 10.6 on that oil.
It is good to do an oil analysis when you change oil. Make sure the TBN stays above 10.

I have been using Chevron DELO 100. It is getting harder to find although so far it is still available at West Marine but has to be ordered for over a gallon or two. Since I am in and out of harbors it is easiest for me to buy it there.
I still have some Diesel from the PEMEX Station in our Saddle Tank but may need to get some more at $2.95/gallon! And the Shrimp Tacos are well worth the trip.
There is a little Taco Stand in Algodones that the Shrimp look to be wiggling when they go into the Batter. I always start with two but am embarrassed to say how may I eat before we leave, yum yum!

hi matt,
until recently i had an employee living in the UK. alot of people have diesel cars. fuel has been between 8 and 9 dollars a gallon after converting from litres for a long time there.
when darlene and i lived in israel last year and early this year gas was about 8 dollars per gallon converted. cost me 125 us dollars to fill the tank on a mid sized car.
when i go to malaysia and china, fuel is subsidized there so is cheaper than here.
alot of places have been paying way more than we do now. it has driven the development of high mileage cars out of necessity. the renault diesel car my employee had in the UK got 50mpg. when i moved him here to the usa he was less than pleased with the mileage american cars get.

Since he didn't like the mileage of the cars, take him for a ride in the Newell and gently advise him of the mileage it gets

Gaz,
Am understanding your math correctly? $1.73 (US) per litre X 3.8 (litres in a gallon) would be $6.56 per gallon for diesel! Ouch!
I have another question: I have heard that in Australia the width of a motorhome can not exceed 96 inches. So a 102" Newell could not be legally driven on the Australian roads.
How much does it cost to ship a Newell from the US to Australia?
I would love to go to Australia one day. I have heard that it is beautiful. Maybe we could have a rally in Australia! That would be wild!
