Funny you say that.

It's in the shop right now. I love the car but man it has been given me some problems lately.

I get 9-10mpg on the highway and 8 around town. The only thing that makes it bearable is the fact that I have a 55gal tank.

I got gas in Beaumont today and the fricking pump cut me off at $65. Had to do it three fricking times

Was thinking about a new truck. 15mpg seems steep. I've always been in 20+ mpg cars.

they make trucks that get good mileage. why get one that doesnt?

you save money, you help with air quality. seems like a win win.

.

I get gallons per mile in my trucks. I call her the heavy Chevy.

I got 6 mpg pulling a trailer to the ranch with a Polaris ranger, 4x6 deer stand(which was a kite), 1000 pounds of corn, and 1000 pounds of random hunting equipment and shite. 4 dudes and a metal plate that weighed God knows how much on the bottom of the trailer.

Yes, my daily driver is an 83 CJ7 I have owned since my sophomore year in high school, 1985, and with Dana 30 axles and a 4.10/1 gear ratio it gets about 13-15 mpg and I have never cared one bit because it's my dream car and I wouldn't trade for anything.

07 F150 5.4 L 17 -18 mpg. She's a whore that likes top tier gas 90k miles with oil changes at 6k with synth.
Damn I love this truck.

Nope. But I love hearing that turbo whine. And the idea that if I ever do get in a wreck I wont have to deal with any injuries is reassuring. I'll pray for your mpgs from heaven

I'm sure I'd get better if I drove slower, but that's not something I'm willing to do. 60mph interstate, my minimum is 80. 70mph interstate, 85 is the lowest I'll go.
