New ride on the way...

How in the FCUK did you get those big bastards into that trailer?!!!? :eek:

So he had it loaded up on the trailer where he bought them. The question is how he got it off. Did he back up really quick then slam on the brakes instead of using the dump loader as he described?? We wanna see that video.

Bought...eff that. I straight up stole those off my dads property. Luckily a buddy loaned us the bigger loader for a couple weeks. Our Kabota wouldn't do it. Telling ya, it was very precise stuff...no brakes involved.

Now, I'm not sayin the chain job wasn't a little shady....but it worked.

And the fusion has register over 180 mpg on a 35 mile trip...

The tank average is 43 ish. I've been from 41.5-42 all the way up to 48.5 on a tank. I check regularly. Always have.

Hard to complain about that.

How do we get my Dodge to do that?! <laughs> <lmao>

It was mostly a downhill trip. I get 24 mpg on the way up to my parents...and 160+ on the way home.

Found this and thought it was interesting.

Here is a breakdown of what a barrel of oil creates:

22.6 gallons of gasoline — enough to drive 622 miles in the average American car

6.7 gallons of diesel — enough to drive 41.7 miles in a tractor-trailer

[snip]

I can see an increase in demand would cause prices to go up due to you don't get as much diesel from a barrel of oil. But with bio diesel should that be able to offset the cost of higher demand.

Not really. A lot of the gasoline is produced by catalytic cracking the (lower demand) heavier hydrocarbons in the raw petroleum and converting it to high-demand/high-profit gasoline. If the demand for diesel increases, it is easy to adjust the yields to make more diesel ( or kerosene, or JP5, ... etc) by hydrocracking (instead of catalytic cracking) a larger proportion of the oil. There's always diesel from hydrocracking certain types of coal too.....

So Biodiesel or not, the projected price won't skyrocket unless the overall total demand for petroleum products increase dramatically....

(This still does not factor in how much the oil producers and refining companies want to overcharge for the oil products to get their annual record profits).
