Trend reversal: GM's new pickup trucks get worse MPG than last year's models

When will we have LED televisions behind the driver for our selfie studios?

Was on my way up through the Panhandle a week or so ago, and a retailer had gasoline at $1.66/gl.

At that price, who cares?

That’s the 1994 $1.00/gl.

Today a 400HP 6.2L GM Truck can hit 25-mpg at sub-60.

A 1992 255HP 7.5L GM couldn’t hit 12-mpg at that speed.

If there was an emoji for ROFL...I would post it.

I'll keep my 2003 GMC Sierra 6.0L 4 speed auto...for my uses it far exceeds any truck out there today.

My dad has a 1999 of the same, but the frame rusted out on it. Good truck otherwise....besides the MPG.

We're NOT in the Age of Aquarius, but the Age of "don'T rump". How quickly is "don'T rumpism" spreading? Very quickly.
