I'm not advocating this, but why? Electric cars don't pay anything.
If I put a diesel generator into a Chevy Volt, I can use red diesel. Well, I assume. Why can't I put red diesel into... sorry, most hybrids can engage the combustion motor for movement.... a factory version of a Volt with a diesel? I know one is legal and one is not, but they're basically the same thing, just one comes with the generator and the other doesn't. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2017 8:51:28 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OFF TOPIC - starting to get dicey in TX over gas As long as you keep it off-road!
