I have a friend who was in an accident last week.  Another car had hit
a light post, and when my friend came to the same spot, he didn't see
it in time and totaled his VW diesel truck.  He's now in the market
for a new truck.  He was surprised to find that his insurance co. took
off $200 for the diesel, so he might go with gas power this time around.

Since his diesel got 35mpg, he is hoping to find a truck with similar
mileage.  I assume that he isn't as interested in tire-screeching
power.  I've already warned him off the S-10/S-15 for the oil-leakage
problem.  Can any of you offer any suggestions as to what he should
go with?  Anybody have direct experience, horror stories, praise?

Thanks in advance,
kitten~
