Still snowing...
here in Chicago even though it is 41 degrees. Miserable rain and fog. My 14 hours are up so I'm parked at the Petro off I-57 just south of I-80. Idle Aire is the internet service provider. I'm headed down to Jonesboro, Arkansas. The photo is of the 330 mpg (!) Aptera by a California company called Accelerated Composites. They're trying to get it ready for the market late this year. Now all we need is some type of hybrid truck with awesome fuel mileage. In the meantime, let me pose this question - all you whiners about $4/gal diesel - why are you still flying down the interstate at 70 mph+? What's the deal? You dangerously tailgate other trucks and cars because (so it seems)you're in so much of a rush. You don't turn off your engine at the shipper, receiver or even while pumping. What a bunch a morons. Yeah you. Shut up, slow down, get off everybody tail and stop unnecessary idling. Drive like the price of diesel is $5/gal.
