Wow...that was a sweeet website.
Whats scary....is how trucks back then could be had with between 449 and 779 cu in GASOLINE engines!!  Thats between 7.3 and 12.8 LITERS. What did they get, 3 gallons to the mile?? I wonder how long those enormous gassers lasted mileswise. I can't believe they used those for widespread service like that. Those 1940's/50's 275hp cummins must have been pretty sweet though. Here's the truck that used a 779 cu in gas engine, several others used nearly as large ones though. Its just hard to believe.

The Main New Zealand fuel importers added a substance that was affecting diesel vehicles. They quickly rectified the problem. But in the mean while emergency vehicles were given priority for the clean diesel. The Auckland Ambulance Service has a mixture of petrol and diesel vehicles, and often the wrong fuel is used!

thats a nice truck my step dad drives a big freightliner breadtruck(not a boxtruck) and he is the only one with a diesel, so every morning at around 4 am a long line of wonder bread trucks sets out to the highway ... and their is a couple traffic lights on the way.. my step dad and the rest of the guys like to screw around on the roads since its 4 am and no one is out... at a light my step dad was getting impatient.. so he puts his front bumper(which is a big piece of thick steel) on the back bumper of one of the gasser trucks and pushes him through the 4 way..... now whats fun(no traffic )
