That talk generated the thread I posted. Thanks for your question Tony. |
Being as it was in a farming/agricultural area, and a long time ago, they may have been referring to "black market" diesel which they could get on the cheap.
I can't see how they would be able to prove they could get more operating hours than the current diesel fuel because they don't have the same vehicles as they did then so they can't compare. It is amazing how memory makes things from the distant past seem better than their equivalents now.
