For 1 guy its probably not even close, but I can't get out by myself ever so for me the time driving down there and what little more its costs isn't a huge issue, and like I said before the awesomeness of Harlan makes up for it. The difference in fuel is because a trip to haspin is through towns and country roads, therefore a lot of starts and stops to suck up diesel, Harlan I just hop on 75 and go. The old 12 valve sipped fuel on the interstate.:beers:
I'm not trying to argue, I like haspin better than most people on this site, just putting in my 2 pennys. |
