It's an individual thing. How long would it take you to rack up 8 hours per day for 333 days idling? Would take me a helluva long time, but that's just me.

Dont forget to subtract the fuel the APU will use in 8 hrs from your total.

Fuel dropped today by about $6/barrel. Since rates dropped when fuel jumped, that must mean that as fuel drops that rates will jump.

Everyone knows oil is a non-renewable resource....what I dont get is why have they waited so long to think of alternative fuels?? The technology is there....we need to use it now.

...not as long as the DOMESTIC oil co.'s (-domestic terrorists) tighten the nooze on their PUPPET politicians!

WAKE UP America!

I heard on the news the other day that oil may actually be a renewable resource. Apparently, there are oil wells in Pennsylvania (?) that were thought to have been dry for years, now has oil. Interesting, if true. We do need to pursue alternative energy sources. That is the only long term solution. Independence from foreign oil. By the way, we get very little of our oil from the Middle East, something like 10%. Most of it comes from Mexico and Canada, according to what was reported the other day. We also get a lot of oil from Venezuela. Darned Canadian terrorists. :?

Shove-ASS (chavez?) claims he will sell all venezuela's oil 2 China, let's respond (saving fuel in record amounts) by telling him and China WHAT they can do with that oil! :P

Darned Canadian terrorists.

If you're going 2 include canadians as friends of the terrorists, don't forget the mexicans as they also sided with the canadians when we asked them for help in iraq. :!:

Let's show THE WORLD what they can do with their oil!

God Bless
