I'm just curious why you bought it. Certainly would have been cheaper to buy a beater truck or just rent a truck the few times you might have needed it?
You wished for a smaller tank? What?
You can always stop before empty, but you can't keep drive while empty. Thus bigger than maybe necessary is better
You already quoted my data of 2mpg. Thats a roughly ~10% savings. Not bad. So sounds like you are familiar with the benefits
There is scant data on what you are talking about. I've searched around as I was not a fan of the technology when I first drove in a vehicle a few years ago because of...
And what "data" are you using?
Sounds like you are the one pulling stuff out of nowhere.
You are acting like you have to replace the starter every 25k miles or something.
who said we are doing that? like with everything there are pros and cons. I thing the pros outweigh the cons, financially and environmentally.
if it bothers you so much, its easy to remove
It's small but not negligible. All small changes make a big difference both a vehicle level and as a whole for society.
Maybe it doesn't matter for you, but I want to take care of the world and hope to be here for the next 50 years and that it's a decent places for my kids and future...
You are joking right? It definitely helps out a very real problem.
You are entitled to not like how it feels or various other concerns, but to deny that it doesn't help get better fuel mileage and the benefits that provide? Laughable.
My state either.... the bolt holes are still there regardless. It's not like they are drilled into the bumper, but they are at the top of inside the lower grille. I used then to put a Putco lower grille in
So, yea, use those since you don't have a plate in the way (and the holes are there)
Today's cars? It's the current car they are racing. OP just linked to an article about when they did it in the past.
But its happening in the 2023 race
