The theory of what goes up must come down, is true when it comes to gas prices.
While some fuel dependent businesses are enjoying the ride, they are still looking into ways to save in the future.
Alternative fuels are becoming more popular locally, especially for businesses and individuals with diesel vehicles.
Some folks are skipping the pump all together and making fuel on their own.
"All you have got to do is follow the recipe and it works every time," said Murray Thidodeaux, Sand Springs resident.
Thidodeaux is making his own diesel fuel with 3 ingredients. They are cooking oil, methanol, a form of alcohol, and lye, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
The machine he uses processes and filters the bio-fuel.
"We are not planning on fuel staying at this level from now on," said Bill Cartwright, General Manager of Tulsa Transit.
Getting bio-diesel is a process officials with the Tulsa Transit System are looking into, despite current lower diesel fuel prices.
"We tend to ride the wave when gas prices go up but when gas prices go down, we really don't see our ridership fall that much," said Cartwright.
Melva Young is happy to see gas prices fall.
"I am glad, I am glad, because my sister has a car and she drives all the time," said Young.
Melva plans to stick with the bus because gas prices could jump again.
In Sand Springs, 18 buses have been converted into compressed natural gas buses, an expensive process.
Tulsa schools has one CNG bus.
CNG conversions won't happen with Tulsa city buses anytime soon. Bio-diesel, officials say, could be the next best step.
"I think that bio-diesel as an alternative for fuel is one of the best renewable sources that we need to be investigating," said Thidodeaux.
Getting your own equipment to make bio-diesel fuel could cost you about $3,000. See related links to find it.
