When will it end

I too would rather see increased MPG rather than HP/torque. I had a brand new 2000 F250 PSD 4x4 etc that would average an honest to God 19.5mpg pulling a car on an open trailer. Granted a box trailer drags the mileage down considerably. But I doubt very seriously any of the newer trucks will do that. Yes it had exhaust, intake and an 80hp tune. I figured it was around 325ish hp and it was enough for me. I just wish the manufacturers would offer an economy tune as well as a performance tune. I still feel like there's plenty more efficiency to be gained by internal combustion engines. 20 years ago we would have never believed that these trucks would be rolling off the assembly line with over 900 ft/lbs of torque...
