Since I'm too busy to search the answer and seeing how it's slow I figure I ask the dumb question of the day. :D

Seriously where does oil come from? And don't tell me from extinct dinosaurs either because that's a load of crap. You mean to tell me a bunch of fossils all died in one big pool and over eon's it dissolved in to todays oil? Yeah ok...... :roll:

So there I asked the dumb question of the day. :D

PS we'll have 100 bucks a barrel before the end of 07'. Watch.

There's more than one theory about this topic, look here:

the oil was pumped into the earth by aliens to hold the inside on fire, otherwise there were no vulcanos.

the Aliens need the vulcanos to recharge their UFO cells up to high speed travelling once they came through the athmosphere (takes too much power)

the fact that Aliens were found in Arizona was because they erroniously thought the underground testing was an outbreaking new vulcano and came to check it out while the Gov thought those Aliens wanted to spy on their projects

Just kidding :lol:


BTW the big hole in russia is an alien landing zone - they just burn the rocks into diamonds when they shoot off into the universe...

the Pond's say: go to Aldi.
the ones driving diesel cars buy the cheap vegetable oil from Aldi and mix it 1:3 with diesel (must be russian or east block motors)

well apparently it mostly depends on what kind of diesel pump the engine in question has....
There are quite a lot of new cars running very well on vegetable oil
(just be carefull when the outside temps drop too much, just add a little petrol then)

I got already problems with the temperature drop on regular diesel past two winters.
and since I am only a hobby mechanic first grade trying to learn the tool names, I can not fix all my f@ck ups myself - so I try not to find out the expensive way :roll:
