dear rpc
there are many reasons to love diesel over gasoline ...
1. diesel efficiency ... my td often averages above 30 mile to the gallon
2. price... only recently has the price of diesel eclipsed gasoline
3. diesel vehicle operators are often thinking about the end times ... (aka
a Mad Max world)
when that time comes the diesel engine will run on anything that has a fat
content ...
indeed i even have a friend who claims to have run a stationary diesel on
milk ..
and that is half the price of gasoline presently ...
but hey you guys who decry the price of fuel ...
it is still cheaper than bottled water ...
Diesels ... hmmm almost an aphrodisiac ...
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
