This not meant as a troll remark. In Holland we pay 1,40 euro a liter, aprox $ 7,- a gallon[:(]. Luckily my Honda drives about 40 miles on a gallon[;)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Somehow I think you'd have a hard time pulling 10,000 pounds of tractor or hauling a 1,500 hay bale around with that...Of course I'm the guy that gets 4 mpg (propane) and nearly 6 on gas. Actually my run-around pickup gets 14-15 on the interstate, but I still carry a lot more and regularly haul enough to weigh half (or more) of that Honda. And I'd rather be in a tank than a go-cart running up and down dirt roads or on icy roads. <br /> <br />Greg
