Re: We’ve joined the movement, how about you?

I don't know, in most areas I hope it will be comparable, it should be better for fuel economy. i hope it will have higher gearing for highway driving!

Re: Should I buy a truck or a Smart Car?

That was the right decision for you, it works!
For me I use a small pickup for hauling, and use my super smart car, the 900 dollar subcompact that gets over 50 mpg for everything else :)

Does it charge normally with your alternator like a regular battery, or do you have to use a charger on it ?
