QUOTE(racunniff @ Aug 9 2007, 09:00 AM)  As I've said before in other threads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) you don't do this if you are looking to save money. I did a similar calculation - even at $5.00 per gallon, the $15,000 I've put into my conversion would buy 3,000 gallons of gas, which would go 60,000-75,000 miles. But the fun and challenge of the conversion plus the "neato" factor of the completed vehicle (fingers crossed) were sufficient reasons for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I don't recall who it was, but someone mentioned using an a/c conversion so the regenerative braking could help make up for weak brakes and added weight. Sounds like a reason for a 5-bolt conversion and ditching of the proportioning valve to me! |
