  Well, not EVERYONE.  ;-)  Dad's been talking quite a bit of selling his and 
even looking for a 12v one.  3 fuel pumps and 2 injector pumps, 15mpg when he 
first got it (used) and finally beating 20 regularly now and he just doesn't 
trust it due to the high IP fialure rate on the electronic pumps.  The engine 
itself is fine, it's the fuel pump/IP problems that concern him.  Last fuel 
pump was an upgrade that puts a whole new unit in tank instead of replacing the 
one on the engine.
