That fits in nicely with all the concern over global warming and the vulnerability of our energy supply. Fuel efficiency actually improved by 1-3 MPG (lol). No wonder Ford is doing so well.

"The Obama administration's $3 billion "cash for clunkers" program should be renamed "cash for gas-guzzling pickup trucks," according to an Associated Press analysis of the data.

AP reports that for 8,200 deals — the most common — buyers traded in their old Ford 150 pickups for new Ford 150 pickups. Fuel economy for the new trucks is just 1 to 3 mpg better than the clunkers — less than 20 mpg."
