Quite the Haul! A moose of a build and reminiscent of the bigger Nasa Saturn 5 crawlers! Who says there isn't big duckets in refining every molecule using a bucket load of Platinum as catalysts. Seen this kind of stuff used on the back side of Coal Fired plants too, for e-mission control (pun intended). And just why is it that mid country gasoline prices are ~$1.5/gal less than the coast where the refinery's are?

Good question PJs, here in Washington State we have a lot of refineries that are refining North Slope oil and we pay up to $3.50 to $3.75 a gallon, go figure!
