Gasoline down here right now is only .59 / litre. Can fill a h2 Hummer for about $65 to $70.00 for a 121 litre tank. ;)

in my garage
what kind of engine do you run that gets 6.5mpg. You have to remember the weight of the sleds isn't that much. do some simple math if the truck got 12 miles to the gallon. For one sled.
1sled =12mpg
2sled=24mpg if costs are split
So on and so on
the cost in the end would be really cheap and if the guys could stand riding in a jetta or something it would only multiply

Gotta love the new price 1.28.9 just cost me 164.00 to fill up the wagon:rant:

yes hot topic these day's, and the oil companies are complaining that they are being goughed by service companies (like the one I work for) that build/ repair there equipment.
What do you do? Demand higher wages because the cost of fuel is so high. And the visious circle goes on and on and on............
p.s.Gotta heck of a deal on a used dodge diesel last fall, I think the guy who sold me the truck seen this coming!
