bumper: my 08 View, filled with my family of 4 and all sundries, is
all of 100 pounds over gross, gets 15 mpg in that state while pulling
the glider, and goes 10,000 miles between services. At the same time
it stops on a dime, does a U-turn on a regular boulevard and my crew
loves to drive it.

Just press the pedal and it displaces the air in front of it. Woo-hoo!
