science hasnt left the building, theres reasons to choose a big engine when you know your killing some power for the multifuel ability, im not going for ultimate mpgs, just going for reducing operating costs. if it gets horrible mileage, but i pour something i got for free into the tank i think thats ok. i guestimate based on what ive seen before i will dead reckon with 10-13 mpg highway without pulling my relatively light weight jetboat to the lake or towing anything else. but like i said if i can get a few shops close to mine who pay to get rid of their oil to give it to me, or a veggie oil connect, or a machine shops waste solvent (about the consistency of diesel) with enough of that it will be fine. i actually drove to dallas down i35 and had a 1/4 tank to drive in dallas before leaving OU/TX and filling up for the trip back. if i could do that again and just pay for starting up and shutting down on gasoline, and maybe throw 10-25% gas in the tank. thats a huge fuel savings in my mind. (that was driving with a 460 to dallas in my truck pretty much exactly the way it is now)


also i do have an xr 250, xr400, ktm525 dual sport, yzf600r, i regularly ride them all, i love motorcycles, and love picking my lines up a mountain pass or through a creek on a hot day. riding in the mountains is the best way to become a better rider. but i still like my truck, and i can even throw 2 bikes in the back of the bronco if i want. thats the reason i want a pick up for dialy driving, i go pick up parts, and do work out of it alot. i need to be able to throw a bunch of tools/crap in the back. and the big vehicles are whats eating the most gas, so im shooting to reduce that
