Most big-rigs get what...4-6 MPG. I don’t think that you can do much better than that even as a turbo-diesel. It takes W joules to move X weight, Y distance, at Z speed.

This will force most independents out of business and into the......Teamsters Union as commercial drivers working for somebody else?

Or maybe it will move more freight to rail which would help his fellow Big Government crony and hypocritical liberal, Warren Buffett.

You’re so right. Our country runs on trucks and the more independents forced out the higher all goods delivered by trucks will be.

Over 90% of trucks are turbo-diesel already.

“O” moved from ‘you didn’t build that’ to ... ‘you will NEVER build anything-and I’ll make sure of it!’.
