You are willingly missing the point here.
10mpg is unacceptable to me - here or in Europe. My old 462/96/Q-Jet/2801/TH-200-4R/3.55 combo got 17 - once. Usually closer to 14. Gas is $10/gallon where I am going and the whole 150 mile range thing won't work.
Math shows the LT change will pay for itself in about 700 gallons at $10/gallon vs 440 - power is equivalent.
