Looks like Ford may be moving away from their V6EcoBoost engines in Trucks. Looks like they will be going back to V8's. Yay!!!

Looks like the F-150 will be getting the Coyote 5.0 and.... The Godzilla 7.3L. That's going to be NUTZ!

I wonder how much oil was actually saved with Obama's stupid CAFE standards, which push manufactures into bigger less fuel efficient vehicles, Turbo's which require more frequent fuel changes, engines with looser piston rings which require more frequent oil changes, frequently redesigned motors which lead to shorter engine life, more complicated transmissions which lead to early transmission failure, etc, etc, etc. Yea Team Blue.

The fact that you believe the nonsense you repeat is kind of scary.

As I said, MAGATs will say absolutely ANYTHING to benefit their Dear Leader. This has to be among the top five stupidest things I've heard in my life.

Gas prices still a good (inflation adjusted) ~20% below Biden highs. Not that I'm giving Trump credit; as previously proved, the POTUS is NOT responsible for gas prices.

I am curious how this is a political event. You seem to be cherry picking ****** perverts finding some way to make it political so you can have a reason to bash a phrase.

Where is your bleeding heart for all the kids on Pedoisland? How many hundreds of Democrats visited that place over and over and over?

Correct. The war that Trump started against Iran had NOTHING at all to do with the oil prices spiking when the Strait of Hormuz was effectively locked down, preventing the flow of shippping traffic. PURE coincidence.

And the price of oil spiking when Trump signed a deal with OPEC to raise prices had NOTHING to do with the actual price of oil spiking. PURE coincidence that prices went up when a deal was struck to make prices go up.

I had a similar crazy coincidence happen the other day. I was at a restaurant, and ordered a New York Strip steak, medium rare. Twenty minutes later, a waiter walked over, and put a plate on the table in front of me, with a New York Strip steak in it. What are the odds?!?!

You said this... did you change your mind so you could blame Trump?

"Why do Republicans think Biden controls gas prices? Do they not know that it's a private industry?
Does Biden also control the cost of Microsoft Windows? He should lower it.
He should also tell my doctor to charge less for an office visit. he controls that too, right?

You're either not very bright, or you're actually a Democrat running a whisper campaign to make Republicans seem like idiots." - RobGMN

Interesting. I thought PDF Files are universally condemned by both parties. Is somebody trying to suggest otherwise!

OTOH, in blue Colorado, we turn PDFs free.

Sick is sick. One is not more sick because MAGA. That's just ignorant. Maybe I am wrong, maybe being a free thinker has clouded my morals somehow.

Waiting for the apologists to claim that this is just being smart and efficient. Napping when not speaking, so he can work 24/7 to get those gas prices down to $2 a gallon and energy prices in general down by 50% by next month.
