Now, if we could just get the IDF to actually pay for this stuff out of *their* pockets, I’d be much happier.

It'll be interesting to see how the Demagogic Party jackholes in Congress react to this.

I pay cash at the pump.

Saves 8 cents per gallon.

That really isnt much.

Figure the usage per piece per day.

I can’t think of any reason we should not sell to them.

Filling all the storage tanks available makes sense right now...with prices this low.
