    Bidumb in a last ditch effort to save the demoRATS from defeat in Nov he is releasing another 15 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve (traitorous move). Since he can't get our enemy's to sell us more oil his calling for the increased production of our own oil. Well Bidumb you are a day late and a dollar short. You have screwed up our economy our region of terror.

    Nah, Dems are all going to come out for free college, healthcare, lgbtq+, reduced taxes, more free stuff. They will all be at the polls because if republicans take the house and senate the dream is over.

    Yep, election night is going to be glorious. It'll be like your favorite football team winning/losing the big game, either way cop cars and couches are going to be on fire in the middle of the street.

    If the R’s take over, it will only delay the dream either 2 or 4 years.

    It's going to be like MSU winning/losing against UofM or Ohio. ;)

    AS long as BLM, ANTIFA, LGBQRS, commies, and libtards burn down their own blue cities I could care less. Republicans once they have power should stand firm and deny any Federal money to rebuild this insane behavior.

    Yes, but Biden and the Saudis aren't friends! Biden went out of his way to piss-off the Crown Prince and then has the gall to ask for favors! As President Trump (I still love the sound of that) knew, you can usually work a deal with someone that you haven't called an SOB and a POS!

    Chevy has been advertising their Denali all electric pickup supposed 400 mile range. For the small sums of $107,000 dollars you can save the planet----sign me up for 2 of them --NOT!!!

    Put a generator in the bed and extra gasoline and one could possibly get 800-900miles out of it?

    Maybe Biden should have offered the Prince a BJ, apparently, he did everything but that!

    Never thought of that-- beat these global warming crazies at their own game -------wonder what size generator you would need for a 740 hp electric motor?

    I'm curious what the returns would be on gas generator powered electric car vs. all gas with the same amount of extra fuel as far as distance, weight, and MPG go. For example, you have a Tesla with gas and generator VS all gas engine with onboard fuel tank extension. That would be an interesting experiment. I'm thinking the electric might get better returns due to torque vs compression and the added weight. There might be a point where the returns change from one to another.

    Perhaps have a challenge where you take a gas car and do as many modifications as possible to extend the range and then take an electric and do the same IE generator, batteries, solar panels, etc. Which would have the best return without stopping to fill/recharge.

    Would the battery powered vehicle start with a full charge, or would you charge it from the generator to start? Guessing it would take 8 hours to charge a Tesla from empty using a generator.

    Do the math!!!!!! HorsePower is HorsePower… and every time you convert from one source of Prime Mover Energy, to another you have to add in Conversion Efficiency, which is Never better than 95%… Why do you need 750+ HorsePower in a Pickup Truck? If one wants the best efficiency, you build the Motors into the individual Wheels, and you only power those needed for the conditions required by the area you are moving through.. However, the Designers are stuck with just replacing the Prime Mover energy from Petroleum to Electrical Power.. By going to individually powered Wheels, you get rid of all the losses in the Mechanical Drivetrains, and Axel Differential… All that is done in Firmware, and Road Type Selection… and can get some Prime Mover Energy back with Regenerative Breaking…

    couldn't find the test I was looking for but here's a couple similar ideas.

    OK it looks like its starting!!! All kinds of reports from people around the US not being able to get diesel. Locally they are limiting all gasoline sales to 20 gallons. Does anyone remember the 70s? I hope you have all the food and supplies you need for the next 1-10 years!

    I have an auxiliary fuel tank on my jeep. It sit ups in the frame underneath the jeep and just about doubles the range. Its another 15 gallons. I bought it from an aussie company long ranger and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone owning a jeep. http://thelongranger.com.au/
