But I know that will not happen.

djgunrunner Champion Author Salt Lake City Posts:10,109 Points:2,350,555 Joined:Apr 2005	Message Posted: Nov 1, 2012 12:50:59 AM Ignore djgunrunner Report Abuse We should be using more Natural Gas in America. We should be using it in our vehicles. Dodge Ram has started building Natural Gas bi fuel trucks that were at first going to industry only but now are going to be on the market for the general public. This is a great start especially for Chrysler Corp. who has been tail end charlie in the auto industry for way too long. Now we need to see if they are smart enough to put the same engine in the Chrysler 300's and the Dodge Durango's and have the 8 speed transmission in both of them. We need to break the back of gasoline in America in order to really achieve fuel independence.
