I do. But only in the sense that I wish it went farther on a tank.

And please don't misinterpret that statement. It has nothing to do with the mpg it gets, but rather how small the tank is. To me the Challenger is the perfect GT car, with the exception of having to stop every 400 miles, or sooner, to fill it up.

In real life that means I have to get gas just about every time I drive it, and I hate stopping. But stopping for gas with 1/3 of a tank left (to make it home or to the next one) beats running out. And if I do, chances are bigger that someone eventually comes by that has a can of gas than somebody towing a generator.
It matters not how big the fuel tank, or even the range of the vehicle. What really matters is the bladder size to time on the road ratio! ;)

True. On 1.000+ mile trips (not with the Challenger) I usually have to stop once to undrink. Especially in the winter.

The entire position claiming the economics of EV's make them worthwhile, falls completely flat here.

Other than the Coal, does anyone on this forum give a rat's ass about the economics of their ride?!?!?!?

Well, I guess I do, I bought the lowest trim level truck and Jeep. I don't see the value in the high trim levels.

But I did opt for the biggest ICE available and lowest final drive ratio! I have my priorities!

I do local errands in the HC. Took the wife to the library, PO and Walmart.

If the car is clean and it is raining, I'll take the truck or Jeep.
I have 2 Ram P/U's..."06" low mileage 8' bed single cab 2500..(work/plow truck)..."24" Ram 1500 Limited...loaded daily driver...I put a ton of miles on it..I want all the creature comforts...my other cars are all sunny day fun cars....

It's much easier in the summer.since whichever direction I go it'll usually be much warmer than here. Then the body starts dispensing of fluid through the skin, and I don't need to undrink. But I will turn on the A/C before starting to sweat.

Guess I should try cranking the heater up in the winter and see if it has the same effect.
