I don't begrudge the person who gets the .05 per quart. Do I wish I could get paid .05 a quart- sure.. but I can't so I do the best I can with the resources I've got!
Sometimes we can help each other out.

It might be different where you are but most of our homes & businesses are heated with #2 fuel oil. With fuel oil running anywhere from 2.85 - 3.85 USD/gal. it's pretty big expense in the winter. (It costs over 1,000.00 $ a month to heat some places.)



Furnaces specially designed to burn waste oil debuted here about 15 years ago. They're pretty popular with the garages that do a lot of service work like oil changes because it's free heat !

Anything going on in your area ? (I've heard of them paying 1.00$ a gallon for waste oil in New Your state.)

It's a bit off topic from the thread but sometimes the opportunities are there in your area. It's just a question of finding the right contacts. Still ... being able to dispose of it responsibly at the parts store isn't a bad deal either.
