It is 1996 model purchased brand new with less than 60 thousand miles on it while the car is a 2002 and has 203 thousand miles as of yesterday when it was serviced.

       Probably a Honda Ridgeline truck after they release the next generation diesel engines and convert it for multi-fuel use.

Status: offline 		i drive a Ford F250 King Ranch with a 40 gallon tank... and i swear that think sucking the gas with every mile that clicks.... i am so considering a cheaper car.  if gas goes up much more... i definitely will.  its about $125 bucks to fill it... but (although this may sound foolish and stupid) i never fill the tank to the top unless i am going very long distances.... im convinced the extra weight makes me get even worse gas mileage.

Status: offline 		Once upon a time, I had a Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty 4x4 with a Hemi (arr! arr! god, that was a fun truck!)  I was going to put a camper on it, but that was going to be a bit down the road.  So I'm back to an '04 Ford Ranger supercab with V6 and 4x4.  Does come in handy in the winter, and is big enough to hold large objects.  It gets around 22 freeway, never clocked it for city driving (I'm usually doing mixed driving).

Is that good or bad?

i rarely drive my gas guzzlers any longer... 9 MPG on Premium gas, and living 15 miles from even a fast food restaurant, pretty much sucks. Currently my motorcycle has more miles than my truck, and i don't expect that to change...

Status: offline 		i drive a 1995 Buick.  It has 116,000 miles and the body still looks good.  i have no idea what kind of gas mileage it gets; i'm math-impaired.  However, $20 of gas is usually enough to last me 4 to 6 weeks.  Though i notice that gas prices here are now $3.15....so maybe $20 won't do it anymore.
