It’s interesting to see automakers put this much emphasis on gas power plants in HD trucks.
It is because the new regulations are adding 8,501-14,000 lb GVWR vehicles to CAFE requirements. Currently these trucks are exempt which is why you don't see fuel mileage stickers for them. This will be changing in the coming years. Ironically they say they are doing it to curb GHG, but our emissions laws favor gasoline engines which emit more GHG.
I suspect that a lot of them are going to end up running CNG which is much better on GHG and most other emissions.
Hmm learn something new each day thanks. So what’s in the future for Diesel engines then? I know Nissan is killing off the 5.0 diesel from their line up. Thoughts guys?
