Rhetorical question:  How much are you willing to spend to save fuel?

I believe that conservation of natural resources and reducing
pollution are worthy goals, but cost per mile and safe operation will
always be significant factors.

Can/will you drive slower, drive less, convert to a more efficient
engine, purchase a more efficient vehicle?  How expensive is too
expensive?

It seems a mistake to tell aspiring Wilburs and Orvilles to forget all
this fluying stuff and stick to bicycles, but in the near term, any
"improvements" that don't reduce my per-mile cost don't seem like
improvements at all.
