SE Wyoming | Didn't want to hijack the post below. I bought a truck. It weighs upwards of 5000 lbs. I bought it to drive daily, pull a trailer, haul my kids around. It gets 14 miles per gallon. I am fine with that. It's better than any truck I've ever had, and better than just about anyone's truck I know around here. Only one that's ever gotten better was a 94 Dodge Cummins 2wd, but that's another story.
My point is, if I wanted economy, I'd have bought something with economy in mind. We were talking about this at the shop yesterday. My reply was if you can afford a $50,000 pickup then the cost of the fuel to run it should be a non issue. As for mpg promises, someone posted a link on here once about how they derived that info. Slow speeds, level terrain, no wind, 70 degree weather. Almost none of that is ever present "here".

What is our obsession with fuel mileage?
