2. My truck gets about 25. My wife's car gets about 35

Guess which one we drive more. I haven't filled my truck in about 4 months.

3. I have an Expedition and a Mini Convertible.

Do I get to average?

5. Can I steal your mini cooper?

my favorite car...what color do you have?

[Kingshakabobo]

8. Cool Blue with white racing stripes.

It belongs to my partner. I wasn't too crazy about it when he bought it because I didn't think it was very practical...... Now it's nice out again and, suddenly, it's practical. Funny how that works. :)

11. I want the red with white top

and white racing stripes. By the time I can afford one it will be off the leases. Maybe then it will be affordable.

21. Is the car a spare?

Does it fit in the cargo compartment of the truck?

4. Can I average too?

Honda gets close to 30.

The truck gets about 9.

Yup. 9mpg. :blush:

It's a farm vehicle? We use it to haul livestock and it needs it's kick ass size and engine? Can I get a break?

6. Not what the car sticker said it would get, not even close.

We're supposed to get 19-26mpg, we get 15 at best. I'm so angry, I could spit nails. It has a reader on it so we always know. We do very little, "in city" driving - so we should be getting closer to the 26, yet we have never even hit 19, in over 2 years.

7. 20-25 and its 38 years old, big and heavy, although slow

and underpowered by todays standards with only around 50HP.

But I like it.

9. So I'm a freeper when driving in city traffic but ok on the hwy??

:shrug: :shrug:

I get about 9 mpg in the city and 15 on the highway

[SofaKingLiberal]

10. Well, according to the poll, yes.

:rofl:

[dysfunctional press]

12. 2001 new beetle turbo...22mpg...mostly city driving

but when i get on the expressway- that thing can fly.

[gizmo1979]

13. I have a chevy Monte Carlo 22-29

it gets great mileage for the size car it is.

[craychek]

14. 51 mpg on the last tank

I like my hybrid ;)

Random info: for those of you considering a hybrid, you have to change your driving style if you want to maximize the mpg. If you don't you will probably get something like 35-40mpg

[dysfunctional press]

16. that's why i won't be going hybrid-

i don't mind paying extra to go faster.

[Technowitch]

15. Anywhere between 40 and 55 -- 2004 Prius (n/t)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

17. Unfortunately, it's not going to be enough no matter what it is.

[gmaki]

18. 36 mpg Honda Civic.

That's per gallon equivalent of CNG. not gasoline.

$2.28/gallon as of today.

[TriMetFan]

19. Will I drive a Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Metrix.

Since I do both highway and city driving the mpg I get is about 28, but if I just do highway driving I get about 35. I also don't let the tank get below half.

[politicat]

20. 42 most of the time.

Varies a little, depending on conditions and activities (things like hauling concrete, manure and topsoil tend to lower the mileage).

2001 Hyundai Accent 5 speed manual, no AC, no bells and whistles, no CD player. Has a Tardis box in the back seat. Can carry 2 adults and any one of the following:
- 2 children in car seats
- 1 child in a car seat and 3 suitcases and 2 cased laptops,
- 10 cubic feet of bagged soil or manure
- 120 pounds of dry, bagged concrete
- 6 suitcases or 4 suitcases, 4 laptops in cases, and 2 cats in carry boxes, or
- an apple tree, two lilac bushes, four rose bushes and two berry bushes,
- a lawn mower and a weed eater
- a bicycle
- a full sized treadmill
- a small, rattan sofa
- four dining chairs
- a wing chair.

But not all at once.

22. We sold the car and use public transportation and cabs.

So, that would be zero? lol
