we were at a high of $4.69 87 E10 a few weeks back , then declined incrementally to $4.29-.39 and now has leveled of for a few days. Still pays to shop for 91 E0:

This morning's updated gas prices in Hamden, CT 06514 (Greater New Haven) $4.59 Regular (Cash) @ Citgo (Decrease $0.10 from $4.69)

Yea, that's a concern. Fortunately, EDF has strict guidelines for BESS Fire Safety and Risk Management, documented here.    In NYS, EDF has the following BESS projects underway: Fraser Energy, 120 MW BESS, Town of Hamden, Delaware County, expected operation in 2028 Rich Road, 240 MW solar + 20 MW BESS, Town of Canton, St. Lawrence County, expected operation in 2028 Ridge View Energy, 350 MW solar + 20 MW BESS, Town of Hartland, Niagara County, expected operation in 2029 Rosalen Solar and Storage, 200 MW solar + 20 MW BESS, Towns of Rose and Galen, Wayne County, expected operation 2030

I hope this new venture doesn't fall into a case of NIMBY when BESS units are proposed in localities across any proposed area...I have read several NYS articles about local opposition to the units out of fears of uncontrolled fires that burn for days and explosions of units in "thermal runaway"....unless Ford can show how LFP units are safer than Li-Ion units, this might just become another "problematic technology" that Ford will eventually lose money on and dump out of to "focus on its core unit". I certainly hope I am wrong here. 

Or like I said to Sherm, if they had done something neat with active aero that was new, that would have been a lot cooler than this. Having a technical showcase for new engineering as a throwback to the radical engineering of the old daytona, but in a modern way. That's a lot cooler than just throwing a gaudy tacky looking wing on the back and saying "Remember when this was cool?"

Maybe this is why. Is Peterbilt/Kenworth experiencing the same downturn as International and Freightliner in class 8?     https://share.google/5h9jf7QDXGkO6ATeY   https://share.google/w7vGe96G2nMUSTrFO

The way I see it, the 6.7L Cummins gasser has one thing the Ford gasser doesn't...a gear driven air compressor, that might just be the one and only stand out option for a class 6/7 gasser that Ford does not offer. Will it be enough to make a difference in sales? @Bob Rosadini has been beating that drum for years and I defer to his knowledge in the area.    ADD ON: The PB gasser for U-Haul has juice brakes - so wondering if the related Cummins Octane has the compressor deleted.   

Yeah 7M3, you beat me to the punch. I just saw this a few days ago. So now it's time for Ford to get back at the big boys. It's very easy for a class 8 mfr. to downsize and invade the class 6 & 7 medium duty market. It might be a little harder for Ford to enter/invade the class 8 market but they can do it if they try hard enough. Ford is selling mediums without even trying!  Imagine if they tried harder in the medium segment!!! You're absolutely right that they're trying to knock Ford out of mediums. Freightliner did something similar with the CT DOT. I'm seeing a ton of tandem axle dumps which Ford doesn't make. Ford needs to get into class 8 vocational and single- and tandem-axle tractors like Bob R -- and I -- have been saying forever! Forget the sleeper cabs for now. Two rails, some crossmembers, an engine, tranny and axles can't be too much for Ford to come up with, can it?  The U-Haul F650 is a huge enough vehicle. I don't think the average homeowner/driver wants to drive anything bigger just so they can tell their friends, "Hey I'm driving a Peterbilt!"!  Your question, "Does U-Haul know something?" is very interesting. Did Ford tell them they're getting out? Big mistake if they are. I know of lots of tree and landscaping companies using F250 to F750 in their fleets because of brand and dealer familiarity. I dare Ford to drop mediums. If they do, they can kiss a ton of loyalty in class 1 thru 5 goodbye! On another note: Ford and GM could be supplying military vehicles/weapons.   https://share.google/ftErI29HDoIr3leTD   And:   https://share.google/bLTlRdNhb5fA2ldJX :    

Lower Alternator.

But the Chrysler aero twins weren't that successful on the track.  The Torino Talladega absolutely dominated Nascar in 1969.
