Grow more switch grass. I'd rather be in a heavy, more safe, less fuel efficient vehicle than a lighter, less safe, more fuel efficient vehicle. What's the money that you saved on fuel worth if you were in an accident in the less safe vehicle that caused an injury or death? Costs of rehab or funeral vs. cost of fuel savings, hmm...
