Re: PESO: Diesel is dead

[Adam McKenty]

I'm certain it does but, compared to the gazillions of gallons of fuel 
that the freighter burns every hour, its consumption is fairly 
insignificant if it only uses its engine when necessary (which almost 
none do, but they could if they smartened up a bit).
Having spent more than my fair share of time in the belly of a very 
capable sailboat listening to the engine grinding away, this is one of 
my favorite topics (sail boats using their motors too much) to rant about.
