In Scotland, diesel is usually around 2-3 pence per litre more expensive
than unleaded. Up until around two years ago diesel was the cheaper option.

Isnt Deisel pretty far down the carbon cracking chain (refining process)
which in turn leads to much higher profit margins for the oil co's at the
expense of the environment? Kinda like SUV's and Auto Mfgs. SUVs follow a
lower safety standard than a passenger car yet they don;t cost less It's
all about what they think they can get away with which makes YOUR choices
all the more important. Nevermind, I forgot, the most important thing here
is whether a game comes with Starforce, LOL.

LOLOL No kidding. I used to be the Service Manager at the Caddilac/Olds
dealership,
and I'll bet I blew up 40 of those things... They would come in with the
piston hitting the
head.... and to get the customer a new engine without all the extra
visits, we would just
take them up the street in low gear, once a rod came out so hard it
embedded into the
crossover on the frame. The tech went to pull the engine out and the frt
of the car came
off the ground.

Then the injector pump governor nightmare, then the first gen injectors
were junk,
not to mention they were dangerous in busy cities, you could actually
run faster than
they would accelerate. LOL

And that was about the same time as the first gen T200 trannys...
So if the engine didn't start slapping, the tranny would go out.
