And once again you show your lack of knowledge regarding oil, but I'll give you a hint. There's more energy wasted in refining diesel fuel than bulk oil. Even better there's absolutely no energy spent refining in using oil that's already been used.

So cliff notes so you might get it: Less energy is used over all when using bulk oil compared to a refined fuel. Even better, no refining energy is used when your fuel has already been used.

I can't wait for your next uninformed post showing you don't have the 1st clue about anything. Perhaps do some research before you put your foot in your mouth once again.

If everybody was nicer to each other then perhaps you wouldn't be blasted by bass and feel the need to have a pop back.

20mpg is absolute crap. My diesel gets averages 50mpg, which is still not enough for my liking. Try a smaller engine, you can get just as many speeding tickets with it.

I understand the music thing as well. I dabble a bit with my guitars.

I use the truck to pull/haul anything from my race car to farm equipment. 10-30k pounds. You're not gonna do that with a car. But 20mpg for the size and weight is really good. I understand karma. Trust me, I'm never the instigator.

I probably am. I think that's where I found out the wiring to install the 2011 f150 mirrors on the 04-08's. I have an 06 fx4 as well (f150) and can finally see like in 250. No blind spots! If you have an f150 it's the best thing you could ever do. 154 a piece from taska (heated,power, turn indicator, puddle light, extending and folding.

I mainly frequent the coral as I'm a huge mustang nut. Gotta a twin turbo sn95 with 2600RWHP that's almost done, amongst a few other street cars. I just enjoy building them, working with my hands etc.

Edit: here's the link. Best investment ever http://www.f150online.com/forums/200...s-finally.html

That's a typo, right?

No typo - just need to finish some of the turbo piping, induction, and some of the wiring.

(warning - I'm posting a picture of my car on the internet. My trumpets are blazing!)

That's one hell of a race car you have there Bliss. I still fool around with 2 stroke engines

I actually just bought a black one and it's running! I usually don't do that but I got one hell of a deal. It's actually getting loaded up on transport tomorrow to ship to me. 5 day ship

Not quite KITT, but it's an anderson PMS (programmable on the fly, your own tunes, fuel curves, timings etc)

Here's an old video after the original owner just got the engine/car together. It's not tuned, obviously running very rich etc.

Over here we leave that for the truckers and farmers

In fact you should be cheering for alternatives. Sounds like you need torque and no motor produces more torque than electric - way way more than diesel. You know those big diesel locomotives for pulling freight? The engine only drives a generator and not the wheels. That 'leccy gets piped straight to multiple motors on the wheels, and no gearing.

Many of the electric cars now are using this approach, batteries supplemented by small petrol motors generating electricity by running at their best power when required. Never driven one but it apparently sounds weird accelerating with the rpm constant.
