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 <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I agree with you Greg, but its not tractors or pick-ups that are actually used for hauling anything that I meant. Its more the millions of SUV's , Pick-ups, and 8 cilinder big blocks that are only used to pick up girls [:)] or the Hummies that are supposed to be so safe ( not for the person that runs in to one of them ) , you know all those cars that could easily be replaced by more fuel economic ones that I was talking about. <br /> <br />Grtz Jan <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I know exactly the ones you're talking about, and there's a whole slew of diesel Volkswagen bugs and Touaregs just waiting to show someone what mileage is. Hondas too, but they're not diesel. <br /> <br />Greg
