You want the best possible mileage when you're hauling firewood because there is another energy conversion when the wood is burned, and the efficiency is affected.

The figure I saw in the seventies was anything over 60 miles and you're better off just burning the gasoline for heat.

And you get medical expenses from lifting the firewood over the side of the bed instead of to deck height. It would corner better though—less polar moment.
