| 19. The thing with diesel... |
|
is that it is the fuel of war. In addition to heating the NorthEast with it, we are now shipping tons of it BACK to the middle east to fuel our war. Add to that the fact that big oil wants to discourage the imminent influx of clean diesel vehicles due to arrive in the next few months. The new VW Jetta is labeled in the 50s for highway mileage. BMW has several coming over that will make the gear heads I work with think again about performance vs economy.
Why is the trucking industry not out protesting? The talk of a 50 cent hike in tax made them threaten to shut everything down. That was when diesel was 1/4 the price it is today!
