I 100% understand that. When your living is tied to up time for a vehicle, everyone is going to want something that's cheaper to maintain and simpler overall.
There in lies the questions that I don’t know the answer too. Sure renewables like ethanol are moar gooder but the amount of fossil fuels to produce a bushel of corn is a lot. Does it end up being a net positive? Same for newer “cleaner” diesels. Is the lower emissions a net positive for the additional gallons of fuel burnt? Not sure if you’ve spent much time on a frac rig but the amount of fuel burnt to get the fuel out is a lot. . . A lot.
Ethanol added to gasoline has been completely ineffective, factoring in pollution created by creating the ethanol...
Won't someone think of the profits!
Any updates on the victims? As I recall one was in really bad shape.

I’m in
