I guess I have a hard time believing that a ford ranger is run hard enough to warrant an oil change every 2k. I don’t even know what you could be doing with it.

Why not get a reliable car built in the last 10 years for the family and you can have your toy?

If you can make sense of the language thing, I recommend reading the following web site:
http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/

(they even have an english language version, nice;])

This is a website primarily for German motorists where people can upload their gas receipts and odometer readings for you to compare real life l/100km values.

The Fiat 500, a very tiny and famously efficient Italian car gets 6,51 l / 100 km, which is 36,1 mpg. That’s about as good as you get with a gasoline car ;)[/quote]

Fuelly.org is another option for recording your fuel ups.

Perhaps it’s just lately but there are several cars in the states which can get 35+ mpg. There just hasn’t been an emphasis on fuel efficiency in the past as much as there is now. I have no doubt that American legislation has had a hand in keeping the public gas hungry. I don’t think there’s going to be a very fuel efficient large truck anytime soon though. 🙂

Love the site, but I think it could benefit if all the user info was to the left and the post was to the right. Instead of the giant blank space separating every post.

Thanks guys, I’ll try replacing the mc whenever I get around to it, not the primary vehicle. If that doesn’t work…well we’ll go from there. 🙂
