As B&D stated some of you need to stop thinking of the gassers of old with carbs, TBI, or even MPFI. These are direct injection motors that are capable of healthy numbers....

Take the ford F150 3.5L Eco Boost motor for example. It is a DI turbo'd gasser that puts out close to 400lbft of torque at just over 2k RPMs. And with proper gearing and torque converter specs that works perfect for moving a load.

Now is that close to say a 6.7L cummins...? No way. But the eco boost motor has almost 1/2 the displacement.

Given time and R&D I think in the near future gassers will be competitive with their diesel counterparts, and also be cheaper to purchase, own, service, and maintain....
