Even if you only got 20 mpg out of it, the initial investment is low, maintenance and insurance are next to nothing, you can haul stuff in the back, it keeps mileage off of cars you care about, and you can drive it for 3-4 years and as long as it doesn't get wrecked or stolen you can sell it for what you bought it for or more. I would take a 5-10 mpg hit over a car for sure, mucho better for guys like us. Although I could pack a lot of crap in a civic!

What year?

'92, the soft tonneau cover might help too, the box did say it would pay for itself in fuel savings! The box wouldn't lie to me!

yeah that has been fixed for months, it turned out that one of the wires on the harness had worn through and was shorting out
