I don't work there, but it was discribed to me as a jelly like fluid between the different fuels, I'm guessing there is still some mixing of the fuels.

All this info is second hand from a friend that works at the co-gen plant.

My wife and me pulled up behind a jacked up 4WD truck, loud as heck, complete with truck nuts. I asked he how big she thought that guys junk was. She look over at me and held her thumb and index finger about half an inch apart.

I don't think the majority of SUV/pickup owners are trying to make up for something. They've just been mislead by the current fad.

If people were trying to stand out then we wouldn't have such a large percentage of vehicles that are grey with no mods or accessories.

Timcast IRL have Max and Stacey on today! They're saying that the Darkside hacker group said "My bad!" and they won't accept any ransom money. So, all normal again, right? Right?

That's the most usual approach taken as an attempt to ridicule Americans and anybody else who have their motivations to like trucks.
