A couple I know had an Escalade...The wife later got a job that involved

12 mpg doing 55 on a flat highway. They sold the tank

Surprised? Did she expect the tank to get significantly better mileage than
the numbers on the window sticker? What an idiot.

Agreed.

In my case, I was well aware of the gas-guzzling reputation of the big block
V8 I bought. I'm not complaining. Of course, if the pickup had to do more
than 3.6 miles, one way, to-and-from work, I'm sure it would go away in favor
of a less expensive vehicle.

Then I'd have to sell the travel trailer. Oh, the horror... the horror!
