I'm going to wait for the 2009 Ram 1500 with the soon to be released
V-8 Cummins diesel. I've read a couple of articles on that and it
looks like it should be a good one, they're expecting 25/20 mpg, after
all they've been developing it for almost a decade.
My 94 Dak is fine for me now, although not the cheapest thing to
commute in, but I know that after a promotion or two and a few raises
I'll probably be ready for an upgrade, and getting a full size truck
with fuel economy numbers pretty close to a mid size or full size car
isn't too bad. As for the commute, I'm planning on getting a
motorcycle after the Puget Sound rainy season ends, of course the bike
will probably get more use on the weekends around here than it will
during the week.
