In the next few years therewillbe quite a few nice halfton trucks that are already converted coming on to the market. They should get in the mid 20s and on 99/gge that ain't too shabby.

Sorry, but if the rest of the country would put in some filling stations, CNG is the answer right now. It's cheap, clean, and abundant. Pretty much any existing IC engine will run on it, and be able to switch back and forth with pump gas for extended range. Engines have very little wear on CNG due to it being a clean fuel. You change the oil in a CNG truck after 10k miles and it looks new....

And right now we have WAY more nat gas than we know what to do with. They are literally capping wells and letting them sit. They just burn it off of oil wells, because its worth so little.
