[CAM-FIFTY]

Filled the tank yesterday before winter storage, paid $2.31/gal for the 93. Let's see where it is in spring.

Not so much actually:

To most experts, though, there's a problem with the bird-mortality argument: The vast majority of research shows that wind turbines kill relatively few birds, at least compared with other man-made structures. The statistics are shocking if you consider just how many people are crying out against wind power for the birds' sake:

I can count on the winter blend to seasonally raise prices.

I paid 2.83 for Sunoco 93. Didn't really blink.

Totally off-topic....but I have to agree 100%. No sources available at the moment, but I teach this in HS...met with a gentleman who has a turbine on his farmland....said he hasn't seen so much as a dead duck in 10 years...but the power companies come out to inspect the ground, on foot, anyways....

...So one year, he threw a dead chicken out there. Since it's a bird - they HAVE to count it in their data collection...

So much misinformation roaming around the public's minds.....

Farmers love wind farms because its an additional revenue source from the land.

Putting a chicken out there is just shooting himself in the foot if anyone takes it seriously.
