WTF? You drive a jeep and are concerned with gas mileage? I got a nice used toyota on my lot if you want gas mileage!

This guy from our Miller road store has been coming into my work lately, and he drives a Dodge Colt, and gets "near 50mpg".

And the thing has lots of room in it. I want one for delivering pizza's... I did the math once, and if I had a vehicle that got 35mpg, I would save $150 every week to two weeks.

WHAT!  Must be nice.  :roll:                            :mrgreen:

I have no idea what I get for milage, I go by the odomoter to judge if something might be wrong.  Other than that, I didn't buy it for the milage.  If you want a great car for cheap, look for a used Geo/Chevy Prizm.  They are the same thing as the same year Toyota Corolla.  They were built in the same plant in California.

I've been getting around that too.. but I don't really know what a "tank" is because my gas gauge has gotten worse since I bought it. It now drops down to zero when its at a quarter, and when its full its at 3/4.

Hey gas mileage is importain, I had my spare on the roof of my ZJ for a while till I realized that my mileage went from 16mpg down to 12mpg.  As soon as I saw that the tire came off the roof...

I've been playing the same game - light bar folded down, 60mph on the freeway, all to eek out 14.6mpg avg since the changes vs. 11.8 before.
