I couldn’t tell you my MPG, because the pixels on my dash display are illegible. But I CAN tell you I’ve gone through 6 tanks of gas in 1,000 miles.

On the truck or the Vibe?

I'm commenting from the dark as our power has been out for 8 hours.

That’s pretty much the mileage I get to look forward to if I pull the trigger on an sc400.

Hey we lost power too! Also, yes truck.

If I had more battery I’d post the piece of 4’ wide plastic siding from God knows where that flew in my yard.

Keep trying. 10MPG in the 351 Ford and 14MPG in the Dieselrado.

Also, that Sc400 with the chrome Is300 wheels looks fuckin’ sexy.

Your record low is upsettingly close to my record high.

Heck yes. I deserve nice things too. If I’m going to get awful fuel economy I may as well be cozy doing it.

What vehicle is this?

But you have Murica. If they were fuel efficient, I would suspect you would be some kind of international spy.

I got that last winter in our 4.2 Wrangler the week of a huge storm. Lots of idling, AWD usage, and general heavy throttle usage to get it unstuck I drive a Sherman tank.

Power went out in Kirkland at noon. Slogged it home through non working stop lights for 90 minutes and now I'm going cook two pizzas on the bbq in the rain and wind.

Took me an hour to drive from Mukilteo to downtown Everett. And that was before the power went out everywhere.

I stopped paying attention to MPGs after my driving went almost exclusively to urban. It would be just too depressing. I believe it’s somewhere around 20-25 though.

I AVERAGE JUST UNDER 16 MPG CITY.

Well you live in Lynnwood. So city is you’ll be getting with that traffic.

Ugh so true. What’s terrible in the left turn from 196th onto northbound 99. The light lasts a good 3 seconds before going yellow.

I used to live in Mountlake Terrace... I know the struggle.

The entire area just has a shitty road network.

I think my record average low is 9.4 MPG. My record average high is 22.0 MPG.

Still higher than my average commute to work. My commute has no traffic what so ever and is a straight line drive for about 25 miles at 80 mph. 19.1 mpg.

Hmm...engine swap the Ford to a Mini turbo 1.6...I guess it could work. Would need a custom drive plate and bell housing, along with a bunch of new stuff to make everything work.

40 mpg aw yiss. Too bad it’s a 1.2l naturally aspirated engine, so I ain’t going anywhere fast, but if I really thrash the engine and drain the tank, it drops all the way down to 30 mpg, so that’s nice.
