And the Maverick is an awesome truck ( I’m biased though) and I plan on ordering the hybrid version once it opens back up.
The Hybrid is 2WD only; but, it's FWD...so...it'll do fine if you're skilled in the old school of "Driving your VW Rabbit to the ski slopes!"
I'm putting a Lariat on the books and I guess I'll just have to wait. Fully built out the way I want: $33K
(Yes, even silly shit like the Console Vault for my Glock...it's ALL in there!)
We currently have a new Escape Titanium Hybrid AWD: 43.6 MPG lifetime mlg! My wife drives it from Dana Point to Newport everyday...up-n-down the PCH...the car gets epic mlg. Once you learn how to maximize the electric systems regenerative capabilities...? You can get those so-called "EPA numbers"...ALL DAY.
Ford's Hybrid system is pretty damn cool.
Eventually I'm gonna get a Hybrid F-150 w/6.5' bed and make an E-Raptor...

** Approx 1400 mile round trip from Pittsburgh
** Outlaw averaged 8.6 MPG loaded with 4 bikes -gear, etc
** Used 164 gallons of fuel at an average of 4.29/gal
** Cost us $ 705 for fuel
** Would have been $ 457 at 2.79/gal 2 years ago
** Thats $ 248 more.
** Is that enough to keep us from going ? Obviously not. If we had 12 races that were same distance away that would come in right at $ 3,000.00 more . Would that make a difference ?? Probably not, but if it goes up any further ....
** The upside is that my daughter had another dominating performance winning all 4 of her races by large margins
And since that post things have changed here a bit. The transmission went out on the old girl after 242,000 miles on Friday. So I picked up a 2019 Fusion Hybrid on Monday. Low mileage lease turn in and I love it. I’m 76 miles a day round trip and I’m getting 44 mpg. As you said, I’m still learning the feeling of driving it.
I knew I’d love it though, my kid bought one last June. We now have two at the house, a grey and a blue. Really nice car and it’s a shame that we don’t build them anymore.
They still build it (same drive-train); but, it’s only avail as a SUV
I love my Maverick so far... have had it since November and it fits 2 bikes no issues with ramp/gas/gear, etc. Just went out to Horn Rapids and did a 600 mile round trip, 23mpg (not hybrid version) on winter gas going 75 mph the whole way with heavy winds in the gorge. With single bike and if I went 65mph its closer to 27mpg... 30-32mpg with just a full cabin. I had a hyrbid on order but had my Ranger stolen so picked this one up off a cancelled special order. Hybrid version will be sweet, they get 5-600 miles per tank on a 13 gallon tank.
F Putin and.... F Biden for his cowardly response and his weak leadership example to the rest of the world.
$6 gas here is like $20 gas in Sweden.
3 months later, prices still going up.
Anyone cancelled plans yet?
I have, was gonna hit a NORCS at Washougal next weekend but I think I'll hit the local hillybilly race that's 5 minutes away instead even though it won't be nearly the quality of event as NORCS.
Still going to Spring Creek though. Not missing that.
Not even kidding...
On a strange side-note:
I'm flying MORE.
Because, it is cheaper!
I'm talking about my SoCl to NorCal commute (Dana Point to Redding).
I -LOVE- driving the Eastern Sierra, unloading a bike somewhere around Bishop-Mammoth and exploring; But, that requires my Transit (16-20 mpg), ZR2 (16-18) or Raptor (12-14 mpg)...and it's about 1,600 mi R/T from Dana Point to Redding goin' that route. Ummm...not too cost effective as of late!
That's $500-800 worth of fuel if I make good time...remember, we've got $6+ gas out here!
But...if I fly from OC to Redding? I'm averaging around $400-500 R/T. That makes way too much sense.
(It would/could be cheaper if I pulled my head out of my a$$ and booked EARLIER!)
My cheapest and still real fun method? My KLR Adventure...leave REALLY early in the a.m. & explore alllll the various routes. I'm gonna do that about every 3 weeks and it'll only cost around $250 in fuel and it's a really fun way to spend a day...a day each way...
The Eastern Sierra is too much fun.
Can you "carpool" to The Shoug?
Pit Row
Right now I'm spending just in fuel alone a extra 800 A month. At this rate we're figuring our per vehicle cost will be about 8-9k more then trump years.
Idk about you but I know alot ofxthings I'd rather do with 8k then spend it in gas.
First it was winter and now it's been raining every dam weekend. So I've saved a ton of money so far by not riding.
I will def be riding whenever I can when the weather is good.
I am definitely cutting back on my riding because of gas prices. Looking for a cheap 4 cylinder truck, but none to be had so far...
