Talking of distilate. Years ago i could run my tractor all day on a tank of fuel. A new fuel delivery and I only got about 5 hours on a tank. I got a diesel mechanic to check out my tractor, suspecting an injector problem. His verdict nothing wrong, check my fuel supplier. The fuel rep explained it this way. "you now don't get actual distillate, you get diesel fuel. With distillate there was only 7 barrells obtained from 10 barrels of crude. Now with diesel fuel they get 9." I had a friend once that got some of the original oil from Moonie when they first discovered oil there. He told me he could run his tractor on oil straight from the ground. The initial oil flow was very light. As it came into full production the oil beame heavier. He also held a lot of their shares. Could have made a fortune at their peak but held on and watched a fortune slowly fade away. Early 1960s.

Haha, that is like manufacturers, keeping the price constant but slightly decreasing the package size. Inflation by subterfuge. There will be some lurk with EVS too. Just watch out for it. Backs to the wall boys....Marum.
