I've brought plenty of info for the members to ponder. I don't want to seem argumentative but what have you brought? I welcome evidence that runs contrary to the findings and data I have furnished. The sad fact of the matter is that it's very hard to find anything that says otherwise.

I don't think I ever said oil is evil and since we all run our beauties on oil, this is a perfect place to discuss the major operating cost input of any automobile. Think about it. We burn gas for motive power, use oil for lubrication, our tires are made from petroleum, all the plastics in our cars are derived from hydrocarbons and the very steel that constitutes our vehicles is created by burning incredible amounts of fossil fuels.
The cheap stuff is all gone.
