How high are $$$ now
« Reply #105 on: April 24, 2006, 01:10:14 PM »
The best selling Ford F150 gets 16/20 MPG.

You best check the unit sales of the 'last one in the list'.

Or I can twist things up as well to fit my argument.  If you want to discuss facts taken out of context, it really is pointless.

I stand by what I said.  You have not refuted it.  Worldwide sales of the cars in the list I provided exceed the sales of the trucks which get worse gas mileage in the U.S.

EDIT:  Actually Beet.  No point at all in trying to have a rational discussion with you about this topic.  My last word on it.

Lazs - really? You'd have a vehicle with that sort of power and slum it with 2WD?

4WD is there for when you need it.  Beautiful day cruising up the freeway on the way to work...you don't need it.

Wintertime ice and slush...you need it.

Off road...sometimes you need it.

Trucks don't drive as nice in 4WD as they do in 2WD.  The steering is heavier and burns extra fuel you don't need.  My truck gets nearly 20mpg on the freeway (book says 18-19 but for some reason...I'm almost to 20 on average)  It's a 2000 model, 4 door LT.  Lotsa power, slightly bigger than stock tires and a fiberglass lid.  I think the lid helps with the mileage slightly but haven't confirmed this.

My commuter vehicle only has one wheel drive and gets infinite gas mileage.


I only burn fuel on weekends.

I am even better than those who use public transportation! And so I laugh at you Beet1e!:lol :rofl and use all the other emoticon thingys!  I fart in your general direction!  I am superior to anyone who uses an Audi instead of a bicycle!

Arrogant. You ever think some of those people bought those when GAS wasn't higher than giraffe nuts? They didn't have a problem then. NOW gas is almost twice as high. And they just cant get out of it.

I have red where you say we are whining about gas prices and we are "So Rich"? Screw you !!!!! I know plenty of people that are feeling the crunch. Because 6.00-7.00 US is what you pay for gas and you find that "OK" doesn't mean we here in the US want to pay that.

So STHU and keep your british pompus *** opinions to yourself. You don't live here and know nothing about us other than a few times "Visiting here"

Diablo is right. SUpply was there a few weeks ago. Now it aint. Thats a load of horse crap.

I'm gonna book mark this thread along with a couple more and refer back to em when the gig is up and all these oil companies get caught gouging our AMERICAN butts.

Someone in marketing for this company needs to straighten out the pricing on these things. It` soooooooo confusing.
Every place I have looked at pricing for these things are quoted as a single.
It is quite obvious that they should be priced in pairs. One for each foot.
