    Was it not valued at €30 per 1000 gallons in a recent IFJ? Making 50000 gallons worth €1,500.



    I suppose it depends on if he is a good friend or just an acquaintance:)

    The piggery beside us charged 1c/gallon so €40/per load.
    Brave women to be lending out a new tanker :P

    Did the journal figures take the cost of spreading into account?
