They were talking Buick last year. Pretty safe bet that brand is next to go. $1.45/gal for diesel. Must be nice! We're at $2.11/gal for diesel, and 2.07 for 87 oct. unleaded. Even with a Cummings ISB 24v 6 cyl turbodiesel (and 20 mpg), it still takes $65.41 to fill my tank. My girlfriend likes her 4cyl Jeep Liberty CRD (Mercedes-built diesel), but even 26 mpg can't shake off the $40 fuel bill! Anybody know where I can find a company who can add an electric motor, and computer to run it, to my truck, so I can have a hybrid? ----- Original Message ----- From: <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 8:55 AM Subject: 4cyl.
