I remember reading something recently where people who bought the new elec/gas hybrids (and some diesels) were complaining because the cars were advertised to get around, say for the sake of arguments, 45mpg but were only getting around 40mpg.
It was roughly a 10% difference.
The writer pointed out that if your car was advertised to get in the range of 18mpg (SUV's) but only got 16.2mpg people wouldn't complain.
Same 10% difference.

My contribution to the thread???
How long will it take for your 700r4 to make up the $ difference in mileage savings vs. how much cheaper it will be to rebuild a T350?
