Whoa...John this coming from you, a guy with a 1995 Ford F-250 weighing 4 tons....If you had that setup in a Mazda B2000 with lithium you might have something. I'm talking aerodynamics, light weight and solar. I have questions about how a solar panel acts like a wing on the top of a vehicle. Can it be made into an advantage.Lawrence Rhodes
