But i dont think it would take an extremely long time to see a return on your investment with this project. say 3.00 average gas cost... 20 mile commute thats... 100 miles a week. 3.00 dollars. Where as 100 miles a week regularly wold cost around 15. 12 dollars a week times 52 weeks... thats 624 dollars a year. Compare that to a prius.... costing close to 30k and getting less gas mileage. Plus you have to buy a beret and only eat vegan foods. Who wants that? And thats only with commuting to work. Granted not everyone can benefit from a non highway vehicle, but... its cool in my opinion. Congrats on your duc, matt! i love mine.

But more power to him for thinking it and then actually doing it! My project car (converting a 914 to electric) remains a figment of my imagination.

I certainly hope the guy has a 2-wheeler around, even another uncut Elite. (I'm feeling smug about bikes today, I just picked up a nice '01 Duc) todd,
