With the rear seats out, I have hauled 30+ full tower computers alongside a passenger 500 miles one way getting 30mpg the whole trip. I wish I had the SOHC engine in my car with a 5 speed as those have been known to get 45+mpg.



My next step is to purchase a hitch and trailer for the car. With gas spiking up near $5 a gallon and metal prices going down, I see myself having a clear advantage over the standard lone wolf with a 1/2 ton pickup truck.


I would imagine the moped would be too small to haul much and unless you lived in a city such as chicago, new york city, or similar you would have to travel farther and therefore use more of your time between stops.
I would take my 1/2 ton ford with gang box over the car anyday . You might find things you simply cannot fit in your car . I would buy a truck over the trailer and use your Saturn for ewaste pick ups . I think the reason I love my truck is that it was built for work and I don't have to bend over to load things .I cannot say the same for a commuter car .
