I bought a Dell 3100cn color laser printer for US$300, and am *very*
happy with it. But the reason I bought it is that we don't print a
lot, and ink dries up in the cartridge, whereas toner doesn't.
So our situations are obviously not very comparable. Still, though,
I think this is definitely a possibility you should research.

Of all the fuels that are liquid at room temperature (and thus
easily transportable and storable without special equipment)
gasoline and petrodiesel have the highest energy densities. (And
biodiesel has more energy than ethanol.)
