Get a properly designed truck instead of American ****, Or even a diesel engined one. That's the sort of mileage you get from a truck that carries 16 tons in Europe.


I have a 2008 F-150 with a V-6 and automatic trans that gets around 14, but I rarely carry heavy loads.


My 2001 Ranger with a V-6 (4l) and automatic w/4WD gets around 15 on a good
day, in the summer (maybe 12 in a Vermont Winter - another reason to leave
NE). It's an exceedingly rare even that I carry a heavy load far enough to get
a handle on the gas mileage. *I've pulled a U-Haul several times but that's
not really the same thing.


Sounds more like a good reason to get rid of your Ranger.


I really didn't expect you to have any more economic sense than that.

Only Nancy boys drive automatics.


Or those with a knee problems.

There are European cars do 70 mpg


Irrelevant. * I wouldn't drive any of your ****boxes.

Limos do 40mpg these days.


Irrelevant.

You're living in the past in America.


Then be prepared to walk redneck.


harry, you're even dumber than the ordinary leftist. Amazing.
