I won't comment on the Diesel motors, since I don't know much about them.

I was entertained by Grigg's comment about pushing that big box through the air at 70 to 80. I'd suggest taking that comment to heart. I hauled a COE on a trailer behind my big gas powered pickup a while back.

While I was still easily able to run 70 instead of my usual terrible fuel mileage, it went about 3/4 as far on a gallon as it had with a similar weight but shorter load behind it. That big box sticking up there made a lot of difference!

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
