Just my two cents regarding fuel usage. I hear a lot of folk talking about how we need to cut back our driving, or drive more economical vehicles. Not everyone can do that. I use a work van for my business, to carry tools and parts and the like. No way to go smaller. As for living closer to my work, it just can"t be done around here. The bulk of my work is in a very wealthy island community that I couldn"t afford to live in if I upped my prices a thousand percent. The workers who flood into the island every day live 30 to 60 miles away on average. It"s the nearest a working man can afford. And as for the oft-heard "just up your prices"... I"m charging what the market will bear. Higher and I lose business.
For me it"s simple. As fuel and related costs go up, I lose money. Period. And I lose doubly: greater expense and lower real income. At some point I"ll hit that critical level, and I"m just not sure what I"ll do then.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
