A Ford engineer testing the aerodynamics of a Ford F-150 pickup truck inside of a wind tunnelWhen people visit the Borgman Ford showroom in Grand Rapids looking for their next Ford Car, Truck, or SUV, one of their top questions – and perhaps a final factor in their decision – is “what does it get per gallon?”
