17mpg?...
My Ford Fiesta would give me something closer to 40mpg. Sure, it's not a truck... but did you really have to haul a truck to where you were going?
I wish to one day have an EV and leave the mpg measure behind me forever.
I'd love to have two vehicles, but can't afford that luxury. Given that I live out in the country, I have a truck so that I can haul things to and fro. I don't have trash service where I live, for instance -- they want $33/month, and I live by myself. I carry my trash to my jobsite and dispose of it there. Sure would hate to do that using a Fiesta.
