Sorry Leo...it's a floating number as prices fluctuate. Example: 500m. x22mpg = 22.72 gallons 22.72 x 3.95 = $89.74 FSC .18 x 500 = $90.00....I would pocket .26. If I get 24mpg. It would cost $82.27 for fuel, hence netting me $7.73! If I take this profit and apply it to some of the cheap...

I can understand the concept of ROI, but it seems to such a fluid formula based on a specific personal need. I kind of break mine down to the phrase "did the vehicle pay for itself over it's lifetime?" If my van costs $50,000 with interest, team operated and makes 80,000/ year x say 5 yrs...

Buck...completely, as 100% American made...they use no parts from any other country? Lets see Whirlpool/Maytag are the only U.S appliance maker left here in North America. If you've ever hauled out of Laredo or Hildago or El Paso you'd know where a lot of their parts are made.

We also have our own supplies for showering...The wife usually will go first and then call me via cell and then I will go next...some shower rooms are abit small for full bodied people! *lol*

I have to believe the Sprinter class is the most profitable at this moment in time. If you figure we average about 22-26 mpg's and base rate of $1.00/m. The FSC this week for us is sitting at .18 and straights at .27. At my average mpg's my break point was $3.03 per gallon. At this point I have...

I watched those laps and yes he had a hard time getting around those two...but he had enough of a lead to get around as he took care as both had handling problems during the race. Yes nameplates is all...as these are just replicas of street models, theres nothing after that but highly...

Unfortunately the U.S relies way too much on imported oil... Why do you think the prices should be lower? I am curious as to what will fall outta this tree. Everyone knew this was coming 50 years ago and they did nothing. Now time to pay the reaper.

Just a regular cargo van...he has been expediting for about 5 years though...

Dean..Are you driving for the Canadian division?? A buddy of mine is driving for CTX up there and is busy. When most of the number one selling cars are made in Canada the trips from the U.S are steady.

Man are you guys lax or what? Toyota wins a NASCAR race and no one prints a word? First time since 1954 a foreign make wins a race!! Am I sensing abit of resentment...especially considering Toyota will be Number One carmaker soon. Actually Toyota ran One, Two...
