Well they give a 15% increase not that much but it's better than nothing and it has the power of a v8 if you lets say have an avg of 17mph like i do it would get to 19-20mpg not all v8's can do that, you know a good gain most people would love that 15%

my dad is going to buy the hybrid truck in a few months here... maybe i can use it on long trips... i guess hes tired of waiting on me to do the engine swap in his old 83' Sierra Custom.

Yeah, but this thing will function as a generator too, starting and stopping the engine as needed to recharge the batteries. When power goes out, you can run your house off it.
