a lot of the fuel cost is when you are setting
and it is real cold or real hot gotta remember the semi is the drivers home away from home needs it for heat and for cooling and the bottom line for product rip off is the increasing fuel cost if you got it more than likely it was on a truck somewhere umm...how is that related to my point? |

you guys do know that most of europe is spending 3 times as much as us on gas, right? meh..get more efficient cars good for them. They are also a completely different society than we are. They can have all the socialism they want, but there are going to be some problems coming up shortly when they try to force it over here. At least I hope there will be .....and as far as fuel eficiency, i cannot do anything about what my business demands I use |

of course aerodynamics only help while the truck is moving... why are you debating me on this? imo, there should be very little interstate truck driving. trains are more efficient good for them. They are also a completely different society than we are. They can have all the socialism they want, but there are going to be some problems coming up shortly when they try to force it over here.

it's not the society that demands their higher mpg vehicles, it's their resources. |

Gas prices & bundle cable bill. I feel ripped off about those two the most.

imo, there should be very little interstate truck driving. trains are more efficient a truck can pick up a load in long beach and have it in nyc in 4 days atrain maybe 4 weeks and it is thrown all over the container thus making it a hazard to unload

and there's no solution for this? cmon but you are the one that said it was better by train you tell us well the best solution would be to have a terminal every 5 hours and relay the loads but would probably ad 2 day to transite time |

you brought up their social and political climate, when that isn't the reason for their high gas prices or ways of adjusting to it. we have much greater resources than most every other nation in the world, and it has caused us to have a "throw away" mentality. did you know that in germany they charge you not only to bring water into your house but also to flush or drain it away? it's because of their resources, not politics |
