ULSD vs The Good Stuff

FYI

I have been south of the border for the last week after spending the summer in CA. I have driven over 1000 miles here. I found that my MPG has increased from 12 mpg to 15mpg using Mexican diesel. This is a combo of city and highway driving. These measurements were taken at sea level with the same camper on the back. In the mountains my mpg is less and my truck smoke is more.

The truck seemed to have more power too.

I can't believe that burning more fuel to go the same distance is good thing.

Aren't you in Pelosi country? I lived in the North Bay and sold everything I owned and got the hell out. Why don't you before the final flush of the toilet sends CA down the drain?

Have you had to smog your diesel yet?

Joe, did you know that some of the best super-sweet corn on the cob grown in the USA comes from Contra Costa County?

Corn Central ... Brentwood, CA. Lived there a long time, thats where my wife is from.

Best Corn in the world! Weekend following the 4th of July, Cornfest, gotta check it out!

Not to mention the other Fruits and Vegetables grown in that area, including the central valley.

And I do mean FOOD Fruits and Vegetables not HUMAN!

-Enjoy

CornFest, been there and worked that show for 15 years. I once saw Edgar Winter perform there and also The Family Stone (without Sly)

I also sold the roasted corn at the annual county fair in Antioch.

I might not know a lot about working on my truck, but I do know my corn.

Never worked it, but sure enjoyed it for about that long ...

Antioch Fair grounds ... Slung a bit of dirt there in my life!

Don't know much about corn, other then I like it SWEET and properly cooked!
But I can fix most anything!

Your location, Mexico, does that mean Brentwood ???

-Enjoy
