[HoE] Junker/Spookyjuice question
<snip question about spook juice being inefficient>
The man advantage is that whoever has the vehicle doesn't need a junker
to run the thing. Your junker could make a great load of cash building
cars for folks all over, and he doesn't have to have them come back to
him to recharge the beast.
Second, spook juice gets a lot less effficient the faster you travel
(this is something I agonized over awhile ago), because the spook juice
engine runs a set number of miles per gallon, not GR per hour. Since
most travel in the Wasted West isn't done zooming down a clear, paved
road at 115 mph, but rather winding through wrecked cars and dead PCs,
judging your distance by miles and not hours is good.
Also, remember that GR's factor in the vehicle's accelleration, while
spook juice doesn't. So if you want a dragster that does 0-60 in .235
seconds, Juice is more powerful.
