Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Never, you just start another one!

 

You need a wall...

 

The United Kingdom has an advantage by not needing a wall.

 

That remains to be seen. Northern Ireland is also a part of the UK, and at present the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland is completely open. Now the UK may have to rebuild a 'wall' between these areas. If Scotland becomes independent, there will have to be a 'wall' between England and Scotland.

 

I don't think that Ms. May was referring to the Scottish when she said that immigration had to be better controlled.

 

as for emission cheating by truckers,
calculation goes like this:

if truck can make 6.7mpg, this would be 35L/100km , truck would need adblue(def) 5% of fuel consumption this would be 1.75L/100km- more realistic 2L

in 1000 000milles or 1600 000km you would need 28000-32000L of adblue (def) i have no idea of its prices in USA but here it is cheap cost 0.27-0.37$ -so we dont have to cheat, on west it is about 0.7-0.85$

so lets take average 30000L and price of 0.78$ per L = 23000$ sounds a lot?

 

btw it works on cummins

 

Not going to lie to you. But realized that was part of the problem , and changed my ways . But when I was not playing nice , I was not preaching to others doing what I was doing.

 

so you are honest one, everyone needs to cheat sometimes. i am not allowing to cheat and drive 5hours more but 15minutes, is OK if it will bring you home or if you need to catch ferry or something like this

as for emission, well this cut costs , maybe not so honest to environment but it cut costs and if everyone do this you will need also to keep with profitability..... this is how world looks a like

 

You guys are getting less then 7 mpg ? Not bad, Not great. DEF is running 2.80$ a gal here. Bulk pricing is less then half .
