R.O.R.  You Bugger!  Free!  How can we beat that?  Only way would be to have them pay you to dispose of it and the method you used would be to burn it in controlled amounts for the principle intent of forward or reverse motion. 

ATF I assume since it was red.

I collect wvo (about 600 gal. every 3 months) and sell to a guy in western Wa. for $1 a gal. and buy my diesel with that money.
I've made biodiesel for the past 5 years, but this is alot easier.  FREE FUEL IS AWSOME!!!

Your all lucky with your prices.
In the UK I worked out were paying £6.31 a gallon or  $9.62 and that's gone down a bit from beginning of the year. Just means my cheap to run diesel Golf now cost me lots to run and my T4 Caravelle that does 25 mpg costs me a fortune, it spends most of its life parked up.
Sad times  :'(

I haven't paid for fuel since November 10th 2011. That is not true, maybe $20 tops since that day.

Note: I also drive 100km a day to and from work 5 days a week ;).

Yeah Its a Eurovan but without all the fancy stuff like rear heating, In the uk they class it more like a people carrier. I've taken back row of seats out and have a rock and roll bed in there. I mainly use it for camping but with fuel costing so much I spend more getting to camp-site than it cost to stay. Its a real shame I loved going places in the Van. Maybe next year I'll change jobs and earn some more money.

Was happy with $4.199

But  on the happy side, to do my estimated 8,000 mile trip will only cost me about $800.

Not bad looking at it from that point of view.....

Saw a range between 4.11 and 4.48 along the coast the last couple of days.  Glad I only have to use that expensive stuff to start and get warm.  Usually only 5 miles worth coming and going.  Then half price or less on the "other oil fuel"   Bwhhaa haa haw.

Now, remember that every one of those locomotives (over the road types) are sitting there in those lonely sidings with those 4, 5, and 6,000 gallon tanks.................just saying!
