173 days to Christmas!





Diesels are Wild! Just a few years ago, the word diesel brought up images of slow moving trucks lugging heavy loads up steep hills slowing traffic. Not anymore! Diesels are now breaking into the racing category. My son has a Cummins Diesel pickup that races the quarter mile in the 12s. Next year, Chevrolet is bringing out a Corvette Diesel. Amazing!

Gas motors cannot measure up to the power, speed and fuel economy of a diesel. While gas pickups are hauling trailers and campers around on vacation, sucking up a gallon for every eight to ten miles on the road, diesel pickups haul the same load up the mountainside at seventy miles an hour, consuming only one gallon for every fifteen to twenty miles.

There is absolutely no comparison between a gas and diesel motor!
