I'm flattered... you didn't insert the adjective "wannabee".
Ahma haveta tell the group.... :)
Indeed, soluble oil, but the output is too prodigious even for that (on a
maintenance basis), so I basically pour it around the plants/lawn/house.
I tried draining it right into the Fadal resevoir tank, figgered it'd be
good as "makeup water", and boy was I surprised to see the tank overflow
(30-35 gal!), not to mention the coolant getting awfully thin in the
meantime.
So I had to stop that, and do the 5 gal bucket thing.
Somewhat the pita.
Each 5 gal bucket is 40 lbs, made more difficult by pulling it from an
awkward location, and then tryna not spill it, and then for some distance.
sheeesh.....
I think NYC water is about .00001 c per gallon.
Oh well... .
But, you know what they say:
00001 penny saved is .00001 penny earned.

>I think NYC water is about .00001 c per gallon.
Last year's rate was $2.02 per hundred cubic feet (ccf)
PLUS an additional 159 percent for the accompanying
sewage dump [a], or $5.2318 per ccf.
With 750 gallons per ccf, that's $0.0069, or
about 0.7 cents (3/4 of a cent) per gallon.
Note that this is _last year's_ rate. There's
been an 11 percent increase propsed
for this year. I'm pretty sure that's the
final number, but there might be some
slight adjustments in the pipeline.
[a] for most customers the pipeline water
is the same quantity as the sewage dump. The
city will do separate metering if
there's a major difference - for example,
if you're using well water for your
car wash and dumping it in the sewer.

I once read about a guy who used water (from the main supply) to fill a
bucket that pulled his heavy iron driveway gate open, and *then* went to
watering the plants.
