You have to factor in the whole new car mentality too. People making excuses to go driving because they want to be in their new car, fuel used for pure enjoyment purposes. I'm about to leave my TCH home and burn 30% more fuel to save it from getting branch scuffs in the clear coat. But the car is absolutely 100% pristine right now. You have to live in this moment of glory because is really doesn't last that long. I treated the Sienna the same way, but after the first winter it's been sand and rock blasted enough that it doesn't matter. Same will be true of the TCH. Orcrone might not think twice about throwing up a roof rack if the car was a year old.
Many of the current MPG obsessed TCH fans will settle into a more relaxed attitude about driving their TCH. Will that result in more fuel being used or less? Hmmm...
PS I was joking, dammit, I forgot the happy face.
