07 Tacoma quad cab.

Depends on the time of the year.

Winter, I get about 16-17 MPG(mix of of about 1/3 highway, 2/3 city).

During the summer(when the truck does not need to warm up the engine) I get about 19-20.

But then I got my Addax Gas piston AR. Sure I still have to keep a few small replacement parts, but I'll let you kick me in the balls for every malfunction I have with my Addax GPU, thats how reliable it is!

So far we are at, hold on, let me check..... ZERO!

My Taco sucks in the city and idling is a big pet peeve for me.

I let my vehicle Idle for a minute or 2 in the morning during fair weather and in the winter I let her idle till the temp guage moves to about a qtr way up.

I just cant belive Im looking at cobalts and scion tc's as of late.

98 GMC 3/4 ton, 5.7 Litre (350 for real Americans) 15-16 mpg on Goodyear Wrangler MTRs. Not bad for how heavy she is. The price of a new low MPG vehicle isn't worth the difference in gas savings.

I have a 01 F250 with the 6.8 V10. I'd have to estimate it at under 13MPG on a good day. Needless to say it is for sale, and currently sitting not being driven at all.

I have been driving our 2005 Pontiac G6 GT that gets close to 30 MPG. That vehicle is being turned in in a couple of weeks though

Our other ride is a 2008 Honda Accord. 31 MPG.

TW200 bike 75mg
VN900 bike 46mpg
Dodge Caliber 1.8L 5 spd std 28/33mpg
99 Mustang 4.6L modified 5spd std 20/25 mpg
Dodge 2500 6.7L Cummins Diesel 6spd Std 18 nominal and 20 mpg on the highway (so far what I have hauled and towed doesn't make a difference. It should when I throw the 7,000lb boat back there.)

If you haven't noticed, I've given up on automatics. A little shifting is worth the extra fuel mileage and cost of replacing automatics. We're simply not going to be the only nation in the world with cheap fuel anymore and we need to change our ways.

Oak is yours a Speed3 or a regular 3 (touring,sport?)

I liked the regular 3 hatch back like yours when I worked for mazda for a few months(got to learn alot about the foreign car industry) and they do look sharp.

The Harley gets around 50 mpg, seems to be the same highway and city though I'm sure that's not really true.

The 325i (auto) does around 30 hwy, 24 city.

My wifes Forester (auto) gets round 34 hwy, 27 city.

My '98 Dakota (4X4 auto with the V8) gets round 18 hwy, 14 city.
