That sounds like an awesome deal if you guys can make it work. If I lived there I would be a part of that to and coordinate a group purchase each weekend as if you think about it - 10 trucks give or take filling the tank and a few jerry cans would amount to that!
Another option is to look into a "Mobile" Tanker. Farms get "Blue" fuel at a discount and each farm would have a large tank on the property for filling the machinery. If this is a permanent thing you're looking at, - getting one and then mounting it on a trailer shouldn't be too bad!
Good luck with that.
Calgary averages $1.19 - 1.22 per litre. at Esso on the corner of Nose Hill & Silver Spring Blvd in the NW (South of crowfoot centre) is at 1.165.
Here is probably a completely stupid question and probably out of desperation... lol. Many moons ago (Leave that one alone) I knew guys that would mix in a litre or 2 of aviation fuel into their tanks as it dramatically increased octane. They did it for more power and alot of dirt bikers do that, but the side effect was a good increase in mileage. I've never had the cajones to try that as I love my vehicles too much. Aside from the danger of the fuel and the restrictions in transportation with the containers...if it works....
It's been awhile but 1-2 litres in the tank would boost octane into the high 90's... As long as you don't blow off your intake manifold. But I never knew anyone that had an issue with doing it and I would get my @ss kicked in a race.......
