    Why, the olympics and high prices as a result of that?
    Customer will be paying for hotel and plane ticket, if they want me there, they will have to pay.

    Or the situation with North Korea?
    I was in South Korea last October or November. The whole world seems very worried about the situation, except for the South Koreans.

    It’s not true , no way a southern France fuel stop is paying for fuel to run the artic circle , at most they’re treating to -15 c and that isn’t crap , were talking -30 or -40 or more Celsius

    The crap with the north....... it would scare me. To be over there and have the crap hit the fan.....

    The Olympics seem to be calming things down tho....

    I'm not worried about NK. What's the point? We can't change the outcome either way.

    Disc brakes were available on class 8 trucks here in the 80s, but were deemed problematic. I believe the current disc brakes are much better, and facilitate traction control and abs systems.

    I have no numbers to support my opinion.
    For what it is worth ,my viewpoint is that due to our geografy there is no advantage is running summerfuel in wintertime.
    No matter where you are in the south,there is a mountain range you need to pass.

    maybe @KVB knows?
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Has been for years.

    There is a O/O i know who runs all the way to the Artic cirle in Norway.
    Runs from France and Belgium to the North.
    He just fuels up and goes there without any additives.
