It costs about 5.20 RMB per liter. At 7.1 RMB to the Dollar, that equates to about $3.20 to $3.30 per gallon.

Before you go crazy about how cheap it is, they are having shortages as the refiners will not produce more gas or diesel as they are losing money. By the way, the Government sets the price, the Government owns the retail outlets, the Government owns the producers and the Government owns the refiners.

The fuel is very low quality. It is inconsistent in BTU content, many times contains water and particulates. It is a real issue for manufacturers.

Since the Government owns the entire system, they will not allow any foriegn refiners to come in and set up shop. They do not want the competition (from a quality perspective).

Probably more than you wanted to know, but I am setting here waiting for my driver to pick me up and take me to the office.

I think Jim Darr/Steve Wilson could have been the same guy that sold me those KE 675's
