Bob,
Some people need F-250s. If gas is $20, they will still need them. Everyone will have to help pay the extra cost for that contractor or farmer who has to pass on that cost. Yes, I realize the new family car is a crew cab full size PU, and that isn't necessary. I have a lowly F-150 4x4 extented cab, contractors special. I got the smallest v8 they offered with no frills. I suppose I could get by with a smaller truck, but it wouldn't be near as practical. When purchasing, I looked and found no alternative fuel trucks. I thought about diesel, but the only engines offered were huge. I think if smaller deisels were offered for both the full size and compact trucks they would sell well. Then at least the option would be there for biodeisel use. I need a truck, but not constantly and I try not to drive it when it isn't needed. I've had it 2 1/2 years with only 14k on the odometer. Even with the small v8 I'm lucky to get 18 on the highway.
