this is simple.
the conobox drifts to the wind and 22 guage tinfoil aero mods...
in todays dollars the 16guage fendered truck is 20 econoboxes...
he could haul the econobox.
if an antique vehicles value increases by just 1000 a year, it is another gain on the crap box risking life and limb with tiny wheels and tires....
the truck is not only saving money, it is gaining.
for every 1000 pound payload, it has to be proportianetly applied to the fuel mileage.
To drift off the subject.. I did not want to give my sube up for ayhting (I got the little 1781cc wagon).. I spotted two fairmont wagons with the 302 v8 installed, 5 speed, and welded...
for 10-20mpg less, I could have a car I could go fast in..and still be a wagon that can haul a bit more (not hat I have any complaints, the little sube is the biggest little car ever).. but you may get my point. Thinking larger may have larger bills, but it may return alot more than expected...no short timer eocnomy about it.
If one thinks their little hypermiler is normal... the disease is winning, like a bad cult.
no riddles about it. What exactly is getting saved? some drops in the bucket, and a scarier ride.
