The time and research you have done. YES. Your set up in the Ford. Yes. $20,000? wow! Yes.
I have read all of this and wondered why?

Why would you do all of this with no real results, progress, or data? I do understand complicated things take time....

Yes, we signed up the same year. 2009. I have data. I have progress. I saved money all of these years thanks to this site not spent it. I went from 25 MPG in a Honda Accord before I signed up to realizing that it wasn't capable of saving me money for my previous jobs work commute.
My solution:
