A story.

My dad buys a 04 Prius at the same time as me being given a free 90 Celica. We both have a similar 35 mile commutes at 7000ft avg elevation. Tis now.... game on.

He gets about 51mpg. I start out in the low 30s. And just for grins I start tossing the ballast. 300 lbs later with narrow tires and a RAV4 map sensor I'm at 39mpg. I can buy a lot of gas against his purchase price difference.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
