Alan,
Is it fair to assume that price is per liter (?)

= $ 8.86 US.... or 7.07 Euro  Makes $3.80 per gallon US and 20 mpg US not look horrible. Even if you guys can get 30-40 mpg...still more than we are paying per mile. Cheer, Steve |

All I can think is that Big Oil likes Auto companies that make low MPG vehicles. Cheers, Steve At the risk of straying into "forbidden post" territory there may well be another element here. In the UK and Europe about 75% of the cost of fuel is tax, so the "need" for more efficient engines is acute or most people couldnt afford to drive. On your side of the pond the taxation level is a lot lower, but you burn more, so the more tax is obtained, etc, etc. As you cannot avoid the levy as it is at the pump, the incidents of fuel thefts from vehicles is very high over here. |

Dude! Where's the flat screen?
Awesome setup. It's the creature comforts that sometimes get left out of planning. Simple things like a warm meal in the winter, and a cools drink in the summer can really make a day go by that much easier.
Love it.

That looks awesome. I was thinking about those yellow plastic trays but didn't know if they would stay in place. Great storage. How big of an inverter do I need to charge batteries and maybe run a small tool.
