You would get more distance with less electricity (more "mpg"). Hmmm, tough choice... Cheaper, lighter, more range and faster (depending on what motor you go with). I will admit... Those are some pretty kick a mirrors. __________________ Best Tank = 42.72 mpg (in the 94 Del Sol) CR-Z Current Mods:** Max Sidewall PSI Last edited by Shortie771; 03-04-2013 at 01:57 AM..
