Why bad fuel economy actually in someways is an asset in my mind for the Godzilla truck ⛽

I am not fan of diet foods, light beer or filtered cigarettes.

In many ways I am not sure if the Godzilla truck will get worse gas mileage then my lifted Silverado – at least on the highway. The lift kit and big tires was a pretty big drag on the old truck, though it was a bit hard to get an accurate MPG reading on the screen because the 35 inch tires through off the odometer. But that’s beyond the point.

Gas mileage is great in a commuter vehicle where you are forced to drive every day, but for a truck I plan to drive primarily recreational, it’s not that important. A more expensive to drive vehicle is an incentive to drive it less. Much of the negative impacts of motoring is not the fuel consumed, but mileage driven. Fuel consumed doesn’t induce new highway construction or suburban sprawl. I want the truck to enjoy it and get to places in wilderness in comfort, not save a few bucks in fuel recreationally.
