    You don't have to add sulfur to your tank. There are plenty of petroleum based additives. Stanadyne blue is probably the most popular. No additive will likely lead to a lower pump life, but won't do anything to the hard components.

    I read somewhere that the return on investment was extremely low for exxon. They may have had record profits, but they had record investments.

    switch majors to petroleum engineering if you feel the oil companies make too much.

    meaning if that trends continue it should go back down, but i doubt we will ever see it below $1.75 for as long as we live

    Now I am not the best looking guy in the entire world (damn you jimmy brune) I would rather look like me and be broke, than to look like that and have any amount of money.

    Holy S**T Gas has goe up like 30 cents overnight here in galveston to like 2.95! My next tank of gas is going to be like $98, and that really sucks when you get 11mpg in town! I need a diesel. No matter how expensive it gets, 25mpg rocks.

    Whoa, easy on the 25mpg gallon... I mean diesels are great and all, but not even Jesus can get that kinda mileage.

    My brother followed a brand new Dodge Cummins dually that a friend was driving from Austin to Dallas a few weekends ago, in his brand new F350 SRW Powerstroke. They were driving 75-80 almost all the way, but neither hit the gas any harder than the other. My brother got 13 mpg and the Dodge got 20.

    My cousins new megacab cumminis gets over 22mpg at 75mph and still gets around 16 while towing his sisters car on a dual axle trailer. The cummins are supposed to get better and better as they put on miles up to about the 50,000 mile mark. If you add a good power system such as a banks big hoss. It is possible to reach the upper 20's on the highway, with the cummins anyway.

    I've never heard of a cummins getting over 24 and I used to spank it on TDR alot. More power to you though, I was just trying to bring the whole diesels get xx mileage back down to earth.
