Batting .371 for America

So how are we doing over-all? Well, we still have the Ford Focus running regular gasoline, and the furnace use is usually about 75 gallons a month averaged over the year. So of the about 175 gallons of total oil fuel products we are using per month, 65 are biofuels of some sort. That's 37%. I consider this a realistic goal for an average oil-intensive New England family such as our. We will be doing better when I switch cars, but it still feels good.
Consider this: over 30% of our oil use in this country is imported from the middle-east...and our money ends up in the hands of people that don't tend to treat us very well as customers or people. I'll go into this and my personal feelings on that region another time. Our family has theoretically cut them out of the picture.
And that is something that makes me feel really, really good. Happy July 4th!
