Says he can get it up to 65MPH, but mostly drives around the area and gets 85 MPG.<br>Since most of my driving is less than 5 miles, I been thinking. I have a John Deere/Yanmar from a tractor, 3 cylinder, 18 HP. I bet you could drop that in an older Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10 and have a small load hauler with great mileage.<br><br>I have too much on my plate as is, so can't take this on. Anyone interested call me or PM <br><br>Tom 572-1225<br><br>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:47:33 GMToldflatheadhttp://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic139454-3-1.aspx<A href="http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/07/laugh-at-high-g.html">http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/07/laugh-at-high-g.html</A></P><P>Only if they could make one in a family car or truck. And has a little more power, aint pulling your boat with this one, a whopping 13.5 lbs of torque.Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:06:45 GMTSplitTine
