Gas engines in school buses coming back?
Just thought I' d post something a lil different.
Got local school budget info and just like everything else in NYS, bigger budget. One item that caught my attention tho is bus purchases. Seems that they want to buy a few (as they do every year), but spec them w/gas engines. They cite how they are cheaper than diesels and all. IMO, they are in no way as good or efficient as diesel motors. In fact, don't recall seeing any large vehicle (except a RV) with a gas motor in eons.
What do all the motorheads here think?
