They want to use some of these smaller trucks so there will be less amount of fuel being used. Again, government telling us what to do. In the 1920’s/30s, all of the trucks were gasoline engines. They did not have the power, nor getting fuel mileage that they could get with diesel. Rick doesnt get that part.
