[Vwdiesel] Diesel Prices

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi James,

While the big trucks do use more fuel, the amount of road damage they cause
is MUCH more than the amount of fuel that they use.  They use about 4 to 10
times the fuel of a diesel pickup truck per mile but cause more than 20
times the road damage.
