So I could haul that 1000 lbs of mining equipment - or hay, firewood, etc - with my '88 Toyota, which is smaller and gets better mpg than any current pickup I know of, and does a better job hauling because today's pickups been turned into mutant passenger vehicles. And when it's just me on paved roads, I can get 70 mpg in my Insight, all 'cause I'm using the right tool for the job at hand.

So for the $10,000+ I'd pay for the Insight, which I don't need at ALL since we have another car in the family, i could put that money into my 100 MPG X-Car. Plus not having the Registration,Insurance,Taxes, tires, etc. to pay even if the car is only rarely used, saves more money to work on my project.
