[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 641999, member: 22610"] Here's just one example of how fuel consumption is the least of their concerns. About a year ago, the decision was made by IE to crush all 2000 of the P47 package cars, which were all 2003 or newer vehicles, that operated with a 5 cylinder diesel engine that got 20 miles per gallon and replace them with a V-8 Chevy in a Workhorse chassis that gets 8 miles a gallon. These vehicles accounted for a small percentage of the fleet, but accounted for a large percentage of the miles driven every day. The reason, Chevy was just about giving V8 chevys away. Every day that a single, new P500 drives on a rural area, replacing a P47, we consume an additional 15 gallons of fuel a day, on the average. [/QUOTE]
