The little Ford Ranger trucklet I just got with a 4.0L V6 gets just about
the same miles per gallon on gas as the 11,500 lb. GVW F-350 Powerstroke
Diesel Crew Cab 4x4 behemoth that it replaced did on diesel.

Eisboch
It's not easy being green.

Espiecally if you are in Congress.

They just passed an "adjustment" to the rules govening travel. Now if
you are a "friend", you can supply air travel to your friendly
congressman or senator.

Cool huh?

Anything higher than a given number is higher than a given number. Your

Yep. Your truck's an 18% improvement over a vehicle that gets 18 mpg. It's
