If you had been paying attention you would know that I am the happy, proud owner of a set of Goform 195-70-HR-14 all season ties for my 1983 300TD. They have good traction in wet or fry conditions (especially dry!) and give me another 25 percent boost in fuel economy. What's not to like? On Fri,

I don't have comparative statistics (not so easy to find unbiased info), but my impression is that rail shipments go through populated areas and have killed many people. One incident I read about in Quebec killed 47. The stuff I read about pipelines is that they pollute when there are leaks, and
