But almost never fewer $/mi, if that's your goal. E85 can potentially win on that front with all its fucking subsidies. I don't think its THAT cheap here in NY though.

Tony,
This is the brake controller I was talking bout. IMO, the only one to get. It should be plug and play.

That's the same brake controller I have in my Sierra. Fantastic!  Don't get anything else other than the P3.

BTW it wasnt plug n play for me. I had to splice wires together, but it was such an easy job. The wiring harness was under the dash.

Hand calculated? Lieometer isn't worth anything for that.
