Where’s the start up of the banks built supercharged duramax

[@Garth2011]

The USA needs some engineers to tell the public just how much profit is being made with fuel, gas and diesel. It would probably enlighten many of how much the margins truly are when it comes down to it. They obvious sell billions of dollars of fuel per day but if folks were to know that gas could still make them a good profit if priced for $1 per gallon and Diesel for $0.50 cents per gallon, maybe the cartels would lighten up. Then, it would be a great thing to know and to track, where the fuel taxes are being stored and used.

[@bobbywalter5320]

The government makes more money on taxes per gallon then the producers.....straight theft.

[@frednewman2162]

I understand your guys trend towards emission based diesels, but you have to understand our issues against the problems associated with them, IE the problems of the EGR's destroying the longevity of engines, the computer systems putting the engines in limp mode is absolutely destroying the the trucking industry, the system could and should be so much better! Lets face it, you don't use it on military vehicles, it's not used on emergency vehicles because of that reason! We need the pit falls of these systems explained to the narrow minded idiots in Washington and you would be the guys to do it!

Keep voting demonrat if you like high fuel ⛽️ prices.

He just did a 14:34.897 second from last LOL . Also pretended to set fastest upper section time but he used the typo time sheet. Now it's edited available on Pikes Peak website he was using Evo X time of 2:48.581 that was not even him... #Fakenews
