Thread: Do You Own A Gas Hog

I recall a vibrant discussion here some ions years ago on what MPG your vehicles were getting. Do you own a gas hog? I do.

Anyone who drives a vehicle that gets less than X miles per gallon should be condemned and ostracized,
where X is whatever mileage my current car happens to get.

Pretty much.

I'm no treehugger and would be attacked by a few (which I relish). The car gets a good 25mpg locally and maybe 28 Hwy. The truck, that makes me redneck proud.

I'm apparently getting 26.4 mpg (8.9 L/100k) at a cost of 11.7 c/k (or $US0.12 per mile)

Gas Hog here...

City MPG:13

Highway MPG:15



Not actual van, but same style, color, etc.



It does have a 35 gallon tank though!

Ram Van! My truck gets the same numbers or close to it.

My first car was a Ford LTD purchased with 120k miles already on it. Got about 10 miles per gallon. But you could throw a party in the front seat!

The Dodge solution to create a V6 was to chop 2 cylinders off of the 318. It still maintains a respectable rumble, of course one of the engineering feats with the chop-off method is that it has a permanent small miss, a feature.

I had a 70 LTD convertible for a short while. Cool car.
