When I lived in England (Dec 97 to Dec 02) I drove a car that ran on gasoline first, then in 99 I bought a diesel. The gasoline on the base was running about a $1.80 per gallon compared to the locals on thier economy that were paying close to $3.50 a gallon. When I started driving the Opel Astra with the diesel engine I was paying between $2.00 and $2.25 a gallon compare with the locals. That little car had about a 13 gallon tank and I used to fill up on average once a month. My 3/4 4WD '07 GMC with the Duramax that I bought last October is spending a lot of time sitting in the shed in the back yard. I'm driving a 92 Corsica these days due to the fact that the GMC gets approx. 17 to 18 mpg and the Corsica gets approx 28 to 30 mpg. The pickup is my retirement truck. I've wanted another one and saved for it since shortly after leaving for England in 97 but haven't had the use/funds to purchase another pickup. I hope to put this one to use when I retire...my plan is to do some restorations, repair, and hopefully some sales on old farm machinery. Not looking to get rich, just hoping to make enough to break even and maybe pay for some beer and fuel once in a while.
The cost of fuel is going to drive the the old farm equipment collecting hobby out of of our ability to keep, hopefully something happens that will keep it on the break even or near it levels.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
