As predictable as accusations of voting irregularities in an Ohio election: Gas prices fall back down, and giant pickup truck sales start going back up.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Ford is planning to rehire 1000 workers at a plant in Dearborn, Mich., "saying it expected growing consumer demand for its new F-150 pickup truck."

The F-150 gets about 15 miles-per-gallon.
