That would be awsome to get 60mpg in an F-150.

Hybrid in the sense you would have a 5000PSI hydraulic bomb underneath you in the event you were in a crash, OH and don't forget the mix of nitrogen.

We yield pipelines some times to find out what their maximum pressure is (in other words pressure them till they blow up). Granted these tanks on the truck wouldn't have the volume, but a pipeline exploding full of water at 1200 pounds produces a pretty big crater in the ground sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't.

I like how the article says that now Ford may be fiercely competitve in the truck market. I thought they sold the most trucks of any brand?

Yeah, they do...if you consider GMC and Chevy to be two different companies. If however you are from this planet...GM sells more.
