What do you drive?

3/27/2008 1:48pm Edited Date/Time 4/16/2016 6:28pm
My commuter rig is a 2006 Kia Sedona and it only gets 20MPG. About 15-18 mile commute.

My backup is a 2005 Dodge RAM 1500 with the Hemi. I get somewhere between 13-15 on that one.

Just picked this up a couple weeks ago, and I live in the frozen north, so I don't know how the MPG is. I am hoping to be around 50MPG.

Flarider, I like the VOODOO Blue FJ. At first I didn't like it but it has grown on me. My buddy bought one just like yours in voodoo blue also and I'm starting to come around on them.

I went out of my way to get the black steelies.
Gives it a more industrial/military look.

The OEM alloys are in my warehouse, you want 'em?

I also have an '05 Jeep Rubicon, but that sucker only gets 12 mpg in town. I pretty much only drive it when I'm hunting/fishing/camping. It's got more miles on a tow bar than actually driving.

Every day driving car is an Audi A6 quattro. Best snow and ice vehicle I've ever owned. Better traction than any other 4x4 I own(ed). Awesome to drive on long drives too! Hope to save my pennies and get an R8 one day.

No, but I do like those things(FJ).....just not them rims.Sorry, honest opinion! Some thick blacked out mag/rim would do it some more justice.It looks like a guy from the north came down to Florida with his ride and forgot his summer rims back home..Just sayin....

My weekday ride (crappy gas mileage - around 16mpg)...

My weekend ride (much better mileage)...

V-twins are a bit thirstier than that, especially ones with Yosh pipes! But it'll sure get better mileage than the other two, and be a helluva lot more fun doing it, too.
