I had intended to have them along with eight other components which didn't happen either.
My early resolution is to make no plans,make no commitments,allow no deadlines to dictate when I "complete" or "road test" a creation.
And not to sound like Polyanna, but if I can ever get all the components integrated into the thing,I may achieve over-unity,getting better mpg with the trailer than without.
I think Mythbusters got 16-mpg at 55-mph with their pair of F-150s.
Getting close to 29-mpg,while pulling a trailer in winter temps at 63-mph doesn't disappoint me,especially with a 1,000-pound weight penalty compared to the stock T-100.
That's also 4-mpg better than this particular T-100 could do on it's best day in the summer when "naked".
