That truck is essentially a mini-avalanache from what I understand. Interesting concept

All over Europe there are already cars getting 55+ MPG (think VW scirocco) using diesel? Because it doesn't make any money for lefty politicians they push "alternative fuels" that are not as efficient as what we already have but CHOOSE not to use.

They are sold in the US, but you have to get a heavy duty truck to get one. Or a VW.

Yeah, I can't understand how GM messed that one up twice. They said the same thing a while ago about how diesel was so much more expensive when it wasn't, and they got a lot of flack for it. And with the war in Iraq winding down, diesel consumption should drop a little bit and cause the price to, if not drop than at least stay below gasoline.
