As often happens, when someone is against some issue and they desperately want to covert others to the same thinking, they will exaggerate the evilness of the issue and will use the tried and true method of associating the issue with something even more evil that more people are also against...

This sounds made up, reads like something you might find on "The Onion," or SNL, but it's not. Ya just can't make it up. It's real. A lot of Muslims, and certainly most Jihadists won't think this is funny, but I think it's hilarious. It's true, everything is better wrapped in bacon! What kind...

Are your tail lights old, dull, dim and dingy? Not too long ago I replaced the driver's side tail light lens and the shiny new one was a stark contrast to the original dingy one. The lights were very bright, but the passenger side was very dim. The insides of these light pick up road grime and...

Yeah, the "all drivers" applies only to those drivers over whom the FMCSA has authority. Ask Dennis about that. He knows. :D The FMCSA regulates heavy trucks and buses (and vehicles carrying Hazardous Materials) to mitigate the risk to the general public. It's all about the weight of the...

The Bill is just one more attempt to chip away at the right to have an abortion (would be illegal after 20 weeks, except, of course, in the usual "except in the case of rape, incest, health of the mother," etc). If the Bill makes into law, which I doubt, they'll have the precedent, and then...

I put Air Tabs on my Sprinter and then stood back and looked at it and said, "Nope. Didn't help. It's still butt-ugly."

In that case, no, it won't do any harm. It will work the generator slightly harder, use more gas. But, it will give you a way to input 3-5 Ah back into a battery under load. Think of those amps as "bonus amps" rather than amps used to fully charge the battery. If the house bank is nearly full...

Yep. 2% of 17 MPG is .34 MPG, and 2% is what you're likely to get in a van. The biggest benefits for my money is the better handling when passing or getting passed by a big truck, the cleaner rear doors, and the better rear vision in the mirrors in wet road conditions. To me, Air Tabs are...

Wow. To skip... the totally... unnecessary... histrionics... You don't even want to understand it. You actually prefer the misinformed ignorance to the truth. Wow. Why do I get the feeling that you're one of those people who are never happy unless they're angry at something...

The 12-volt outlet on a generator is for running 12-volt loads, not for charging 12-volt batteries. It'll work in a pinch for wet (and some AGM) batteries, but it's not the most efficient way to charge batteries. You can run a 40-50 amp charger off the AC outlet much more efficiently. The 8.3...

Those Atkins chocolate shakes... they're awesome with Doritos.

At about the 1:25 mark, and then again at about the 1:50 mark, you'll see Hawk. Sort of. :D

It's not a case of stupid or smart, it's a case of economics. Corn and beans are both profitable because they're cheap to crop, but neither Joe nor Fred is gonna grow cotton or rice or anything else that doesn't produce high profits, regardless of its status as a commodity. Cotton, rice and...

You mistakenly have the impression that I'm defending farm subsidies. I'm not. I just know how it all works, is all. You can laugh all you want, but without the farm subsidies, in the current world market and agricultural economy farmers would only grow what makes them money, and nothing else...

Wild guess, gotta be. Saving $30-$50 a week would translate into buying $1500-$2500 in fuel every week for highway miles. It's more like $25-$35 a month. Air Tabs are $2.75 each (were $2.50 each at the time I got mine). The bigger the vehicle the more you'll need, but the fuel savings...

Actually, the very last paragraph in the article is really all you need to read. It tells you everything you need to know. Except that, the Air Tabs will pay for themselves in about 4-6 months.

The bigger and boxier, the more dramatic the difference, for the reasons listed in that incredibly well written and informative article linked above. :D

You think you're disappointed!... imagine how Mitochondria Man feels.

There's really not much more I can add to this article: Expedite Now Trucking Magazine - An Expediter and his AirTabs It's why the buffeting when a big truck passes is reduced, why the rear doors stay cleaner (and free of snow for larger trucks with those roll-up doors), and why the road spray...
