Well or company news letter came out the other day and had some info I thought you guys may want to read. It deals with the concerns a fuel retailer will have to face in the coming years. You need to remember when reading this that when they say low sulfur they mean the new ultra low diesel and when they say high they mean the low sulfur we are using now. (not the red stuff) 
I feel it is only a matter of time before the high sulfur we use in tractors is no longer available also. While I am for clean air and water I do feel we as a country are going to price ourselves out of the world market even more. Our new rules that took effect in 2005 knocked our fuel mileage by 1 mpg and now in 2007 we will see another 5% cut in mpg with the new engines. On top of this we need to add the fact that the new Ultra Low Diesel is going to have to cost more per gallon. (someone needs to pay for all that new equipment) I will let someone else have the soap box now.
