So. You're still losing a large percentage of energy to heat. Why do we feel we need to justify driving the trucks we have. I could make the argument that most could get by on a scooter, but that is not realistic. We choose our luxeries and buy them if we can afford them. My truck hauls about 500lbs including myself daily. Pull a quad trailer every now and then, but nothing a jeep couldn't do. I drive it cause I like it.
