Rook, I'm sorry, I had to laugh when I read this -- I have this picture of a truck driver saying, "yeah, I bought this diesel because it lasts longer and I don't have to go the shop as much," and responding, "Great! Funny thing is, that's the last thing I think about when I slam the pedal to the floor in this."
