Enough about the gas mileage already!

[basils]

As I'd said a long time ago about the 'mileage' posts....GO BUY A CIVIC FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! That was about a month or so ago when I just got tired of those silly MPG posts and the constant questions asking what mileage everyone was getting. Back then I was pretty much told to back off. I guess NOW everybody is finally getting as sick of them as I was!!

WOW!!! I thought I was gonna really piss people off with that post but I guess I am not the only one who can't understand all the complaining about gas mileage. I have been SO IMPRESSED with the engine- a low emmisions V6 with this kind of performance.

I LOVED Fins2theright's post.. and all the others as well- I think you pretty much said it all!!!

Wait I hear a 2% out there........ OK maybe not. I agree get a civic.

Thought I would post some info some might find interesting.

This is from Consumer's Report as they have tested vehicles- this is not the EPA estimates but how these vehicles actually tested out.

05 Sport Trac- V6- 15mpg/20mpg (reported, vehicle not tested)
05 F150- 5.4 V8- 9mpg/20mpg
05 RAM 1500 -4.7 V8-8mpg/17mpg
05 Toyota Tacoma- V6- 13mpg/21mpg

oh, and almost forgot.... Honda RIDGELOVE- 10mpg/23mpg- so, don't worry, be happy, you bought the BEST truck!!!

Wow I get better than the epa/sticker rating..woohoo

Get a Civic?

Good idea. Then, I'll have truck of the year and car of the year!!

I gotta stop the !! at the end of my posts. My fahter used to be a commercial fisherman. He trolled more than he gilnet. The two ! reminds me of the poles on either sides of the boat.

Under the new hp requirements, it's 247 hp. Under the old hp requirement it was 255 hp.

We don't have winter mix fuel here and I get consistently 19 to close to 21 mpg.

I love eating wings while sitting in my Ridgeline, don't own a toaster

I have a 2 slice toaster. Growing up we all had a 4 slicer. My wife says thats a waste and will only have a 2 slicer. Maybe the 4 uses to much electricity.
