, though I hardly ever get less than 17mpg. And, there is never any shortage of power. 280HP 790ftlbs of torque.
hmmm. worst case scenario, 17 mpg / 1000 miles = 58.8 gallons
59 gallons x $3.00 gal ("straight" diesel) = $177
How many terrorists could you put through training camp for $177 per trip?
I know it costs "only pennies per day" to feed them.... I guess the rest goes to bullets.
Fossil fuel - a necessary evil (today), but do we have to go that far overboard? Do you HAVE to haul at 70mph? slowing down to 60 mph could easily reduce fuel consumption by 10-12% (depends on vehicle aerodynamics)
I know most of our egos wouldn't fit in small cars, so we have to buy Hum-vee trucks and such.
My state is so flat, once you get your trailer moving, you could probably pull it with a moped.
