Amen aerohead!! Off with their heads! But the ethical question arises: is the dog completely innocent? Or would he be mitigated in his involvement, if he had chewed up the interior of the hummer?


In NZ diesel used to way cheaper...2/5ths the cost of petrol 2 years ago, then 7/8ths the cost of benzine, now 4/5ths the cost of benzine, plus road tax $36 per 1000km which used to be around $18 for a compact.

I always had diesel cars(at least 15 or so over the years), even though you had to change the oil twice as often, and the financial threat of costly engine rebuild was always in the background.

With these recent price hikes I now wouldnt bother. Plus the fact that FAS ing a diesel isnt a good idea.
