Or even equipment.
If you have a modern aero truck that still has a good 5 years' worth of usefulness, and they invent an engine that saves you $5,000 a year in fuel (6.5 mpg instead of 6 mpg, for instance), Would it be worth $20,000 to repower? Especially if that brand new engine also extends the life of the truck another 5 years beyond what you would have gotten?
