What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

I was really diappointed when Ford came out with the squarer F-150 in 2005 that had worse mileage. Ford picked a bad time to do this, because GM/Chevy improved their truck's mileage and sales of the F-150 plummeted. I will be really interested in the new 4.6L clean diesel engine Ford has talked about for the F-150. If this truck can achieve high 20s and they don't charge a fat premium for it, I am in for an upgrade. Otherwise, I will continue to cruise my 2000 F-150, since it gets comparable mileage to the new trucks.

I've always been a GM guy and part of the reason was that GM always seemed to have better fuel economy than Ford for comparable vehicles. Given GM's recent woes, I'll gladly switch to Ford.
