It’s a bit removed from that.... but the concept is pretty much the same, travel in once each week, hit all the stores to pickup what is needed for the foreseeable future...
Takes a bit of planning and being organized, but saves a lot of fuel and time.... I essentially pump 6 gallons of gas on my weekly fill-up.... rarely varies from that...
So, loading up a Silverado instead of a buckboard?
My brother always asked why engines were rated in horsepower. No matter how many horses you hitch to the front of a wagon it’s never going to go faster than around 30 mph.
But I guess not all cowboys are engineers.
