ah the stories I tell and info I bring from Texas.
The inflation factor........very interesting.
The current estimated MSRP is considerably lower and the estimated mpg a bit higher from '08.

in the long run do you think it will really make a difference? if you want one you will get one. yes we all want the price to be 6800.00 buy hey if it fails to come into that range will it really bust us. my guess is no. i remember way back in 72 when gas started to go up. it was .33 cents for years then .45 then .50 then .80 and all i heard was people saying if gas gets to 1.00 i will walk. how many do you see walking? people said if gas gets to 2.00 i will sell my truck and get a vw or some smaller fuel efficient car, how many are driving 10 mpg trucks today at 3.00 a gallon.
my point is no matter, the 84 mpg is what will sell the car along with 6800.00 but if it goes to 7k or 8k it will still sell people just have to wine about something.

We can wine about the .... no never mind we have a thread for that already, or several actually 
I agree, the efficiency is my motivator. I may ,at the moment, be able to afford 17MPG. That does not mean I like it , nor expect to continue that into our future. What we waste today we won't have tomorrow!

Check inflation adjusted gas prices, has not actually changed a lot.

What I was told, was that there were different options(and pricing) on various wraps, with different "lifespans". Some will stay on 3 years, some will stay on 5 years, etc. Apparently they do not seem 'permanent', and I can confirm this visually as we have several wrapped business vans in the area, and some portions of the wrap are coming off. Maybe this is a poor installation, I do not know. I wondered if anyone on this forum has a wrapped vehicle and how it is holding up.

I believe member, Nathan Dufee, does this professionally. I haven't seen his name active lately but then this is a busy time of year (not for wraps but for everything else). I hope I spelled his name correctly and apologize if I did not. You can go to the members list and find a name like that and send a personal communication. If he has set his up to receive an email when pc is posted then you might get a response. Good luck.
