I have a diesel car. When fuel had higher sulfur it got better mileage and the fuel was half the price. Now the mileage is slightly lower and fuel costs up to $4 per gallon. Diesel requires the least refining of the fuels. You can basically strain the sand out of the lighter crude and burn it in the engine.

Everything we buy is delivered by truck. This standard has greatly contributed to food and goods inflation.

I think their ought to be a requirement that every new rule have an economic impact statement. When you add them all together you’d see that one of the biggest contributors to our economic malaise are environmental rules and regulations.

If it has an economic effect on the people rules don’t cut it.
