    Double Nickles

    We run between 55-63 almost all the time. The fuel savings are great and we are always early. No need for the Feds to get involed at all. If you want to save money, slow down. If you want to spend more to get where you are going, go faster. There is NO fuel shortage to worry about. Just a group...

    fuel price protest - Aol News

    Not sure this will help anything. The stratigic reserve is for military use in a time of war. As to the exports from Alaska, I am under the impression that we export about 30% of what we produce up there. Most goes to Japan. It is oil that we are not allowed to burn in the US do to it's high...

    Is this a tornado? You decide!

    Not sure about the tornado part, does not look like any tornado that I have ever seen. I have seen 5 to date. One just across the street from our house when I was a kid. One formed right over our place during the April outbrake in '74. That one hit an ice rink in Windsor, Canada. It brought the...

    Thanks Dave, you are right. It is being a man. I spent 10 years on a couple of volunteer fire and ambulance companies. There were men and women there who I often put my life in there hands and there's in mine. Good hard working people. I bet they "cling" to thier religion and guns too. I wish I...

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    I want our government to follow our constitution. I ALWAYS vote on issues, not party. I have NEVER voted for a person that I wanted to be president and will not this time. I will vote for the least rotten of the bunch. None of them are qualified. I don't like socialists. They are all socialists...

    It will also cut the noise factor and save hours on the APU. These are all reasons I am looking at these things. What about thier engine block heaters, anyone in here have one? If so, how do you like it? Layoutshooter

    Great, I think I will have to looking one. I have a six battery system. 2 deep cycle and 4 starters. The sleeper batteries should run one most of the night. My APU will start on it's own if the batteries get too low. Layoutshooter

    RatWell, we elect people to represent us. We even elect people to elect the president for us. When I went to school we were taught that we were a representitive republic. We elect those who are to represent us in a democratic election. They now teach that we are a democracy. The two systems are...

    Hey Ratwell, welcome to the crowd!!! We welcome new faces. And by the way, my wife and I are White Glove and we will talk to anyone. Not everyone are snobs. As to the oil problem, cut taxes, let industry work and we will be fine. We are only about 20 years away from what should be the end of the...

    There is a plant being built in NE PA that will be truning waste coal into gas. Another plant being built in MT. I think they will be producing diesel. There are already piplines in that area. Coal can make a huge dent in our oil needs. For now at least. We need something new. No matter what we...

    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    Bio-Fuel is running up the price of food all over the world, and it will get worse. There is not enough land to grow fuel and food. There is also no easy answer to the problem. Diesel from coal would be a good stop-gap but we need all new thinking. Hard to do in a country that discourges new...
