Hunters! The midterms are about you!
Are you willing to give up diesel trucks, and only produce power with solar and wind?
It’s not as simple as voting for pristine wilderness.
Blaming Trump for high diesel prices?
You forget that without him, we wouldn’t have diesel pickups at all!
Here is the truth about diesel regulations and how easily people forget what was happening just a couple years ago.
It’s not about running the engine hotter itself. It’s about running the cylinder pressure higher so the combustion of the fuel is hotter. This is why you start to see 8.3 L engine engines. It’s to drop the cylinder pressure so that it burns cooler which actually heats the entire engine up and they have to add cooling systems all over it.
Trump is going to buy diesel from Russia.
That will not fix our problems because of the Green New Deal, which did not even pass but is right now keeping us from having super efficient vehicles.
Here is why I think Trump made the right move and how we actually fix the diesel engine!
@stuffordshire There is no working example of this tech that is running on the road. My point is that we are not engineering for that. We are engineering to lower both the CO CO2 and the NOX in such a way that makes engineering for actual efficiency impossible.
Diesel is $6.00 per gallon, but we could get 60 mpg diesel SUV’s!
Why don’t we do that?
The real answer is California and the EPA are making it impossible to create a super efficient diesel engine!
Here’s why!
How many school shootings would we have if some of the teachers were armed and trained to protect their students?
I say almost zero.
When you create gun free zones, you create places where a killer feels in control.
The knowledge that there will be guns in the hands of trained people would take away that control.
What do you think, @grok?
Do wolves have more rights than humans?
This shouldn’t be a question but because of the Pristine Myth, it now is a question we need to ask.
Let me show you an image of Pristine which is an Indian on a horse. Problem is that image is a contradiction in itself.
@TexasTom77 That wouldn’t work you have to have hotter combustion, which means you have to kind of advance the timing which I don’t think you can accomplish without designing an engine for that specific purpose.
I don’t think so. To be clear there is no engine on the market that I know of that just by removing this stuff could get 50 miles MPG, but there is technology that we are not using because of these rules that could get us to 30 to 50 MPG without changing gear ratios or transmissions or anything like that.
@Bfreeusa24@caddielife Toyota Hi-Lux pickups are absolutely amazing!
They are not legal in the United States because of the regulations I am referring to.
That should make us all question those regulations.
You forgot to account for the fact that if we were allowed to engineer a diesel engine purely for increased mpg, we have the ability to create a super lean version with extremely high oxygen to fuel ratios. That is what makes 50 mpg theoretically possible right now even in half ton pickups and SUVs. Correct?
I think the engineers should say exactly what’s going on. I am not always on the side of engineers, but in this case, they have no choice. It is the EPA that mandates how they engineer these diesel engines.
If the engineers only had to worry about getting the best fuel economy and burning clean, we wouldn’t have this problem. With the current regulations, they are given an impossible task which we have to pay for.
