I'm not sure this will work. I may be speaking out of my butt. (been known to happen) I think truckers get a big tax break on operating costs if they own the truck. If they drive a company truck I think the company pays the gas... I'm not sure. I wish it would work

We really need to push back on the politicians to get this moving in a better direction. MPG is important. But the problem is foreign oil. The same people who hate us because we are Americans control the oil.
