    #### you really have to be one broke ### dude to consider going through all that. I fill up my pickup diesel truck and dont even look at what i paid for the dam fuel. Maybe consider buying a 1987 honda hatchback?

    Tax evasion will get you eventually if your little truck is a company vehicle in some way.

    There was a time long ago a few leaky valves here and there didnt hurt none. That was ended back in the 80's

    This here is the net, everything has a address traceable to someone somewhere. Just talking about it is not that smart. If you thought about that situation now, people thought about these things long before you or I were alive.

    Nothing is free in life. You will pay. You might not pay today but yes sir it will come round eventually in some form.

    Man your overthinking this. Your a lease operator right? You're allowed to write off a of a percentage of your personal vehicle expenses if you're using it for business. Driving to your truck at the t/s or your parking spot is using it for business. Keep your reciepts and the accountant will do the rest. And yes having a diesel pick up will make it easier to hide some things.
