[AT] synthetic oil - gas versus diesel trucks

[Ron Cook]

John,
While I agree, I look at it differently.  I have to drive a diesel 
powered truck to buy groceries(which doesn't always work out).  I'll be 
damned if I am going to be around one of those noisy, smelly, expensive 
contraptions just to drive somewhere.  I have had that opinion for near 
40 years now.
