"Conservatively," Goodwin muses, scratching his chin, "it'll get 60 miles to the gallon. With 2,000 foot-pounds of torque. You'll be able to smoke the tires. And it's going to be superefficient."

That guy Goodwin is damn sharp cookie. I know a fair number of guys like that, no formal education but smarter than hell. BTW, the GM Duramax can be had with a 6 speed standard transmission, you don't have to get the Allison automatic.
