This is my issue. "I'd rather drive", not, "I need to drive". It's your choice, not mine. I love trucks too. It took me three different trucks and a full size SUV to realize I don't need to drive them, I only wanted to drive them. Seeing the money saved every month on gas really put it into perspective for me.

You can run a beat up truck on whatever you want; whether it be gas, wood gas, syngas, or pixie dust. But, physics will still show us you are going to need MORE of whatever fuel you use to drive around a heavy, un-aero, big block gas guzzler.

Why not put the effort into a car instead???
