Or drive to the office.

My 1 ton 5.9 24v cummins gets about 24mpg when hauling air, there is nothing comparable in a gas job that will come close to pulling the load I pull everyday. If it's not the service trailer it's a gooseneck with equipment. I'm curious if the cummins is not a necessity to pull a 14000 pnd trailer, what would you recommend that would compete with the cummins for mileage and still do what I require?
I have a gas jobby for a grocery getter, and a streetbike for cheap commuting in the summer when I'm not working. The cummins is a work truck.
This still doesn't address if the govt has actively reached out to auto manufacturers to find out if they have anything in the pipe in regards to green tech for industry. Passenger cars aside, where is the investment coming from? Does the NDP have any takers, ie a plan, or is the plan to tax first and figure out how to spend later?
