LOL .... I thought you said LITE reading ....

 

They speled Tran$ition wrong.

 

I forgot to say except for Mayfair sorry[&o]

 

Im with Mayfair,,, I'll just nod my head and agree with it.

 

"Using current catalyst technology, the fuel-rich cycle could reduce fuel efficiency by 4 percent.".....

That's like....1mpg

 

If like you say it's only 1 mpg then why have many people gotten a loss of up to 4 mpg. Even at 1 mpg it will cost you some where near an extra $5.00 per tank of fuel, that is if you get 16 mpg. At 10 mpg the cost goes up to around $8.50 per tank. That comes to $20-34 per month and for those who buy 3 tanks a week it comes to $60-102. per month extra.

Now add up all those dollars over the life of the truck and it does add up. This does not include the extra lube many will have to put in there tanks to keep there fuel systems and other parts working. Lift pumps are not cheap nor is the labor to install them.

And if you want to use if they can't afford the price of fuel don't own it. Well just a few short years back the price of diesel was around 25 cents a gallon cheaper. Now we pay an extra 50 cents to 85 cents a gallon more and they refine it less then gas yet charge us more then Gas.

OK I'll stop and get off the soap box now.
