Yes jetfuel that stuff in the background is part of our multi-cycle heating system. It warms us when we cut it and it warms us again when we split and then it warms us again when we burn it. The Christmas tree however came from a local tree farm.
The wind up key gives us about a 10% increase in fuel economy. I think mostly from wind boost created by the people waving as we drive by.
Aerocrew are you refering to the ruby red color of the panels (2006 smart color) or the mud color coating the car. It's one of the things you deal with living up a dirt road. An easy trade off to the asphalt and traffic in the big city.
Now I get to drag the tree inside and watch the boss decorate it.
