My pickup weighs 7500 pounds and gets 21mpg in the summer, on winter fuel I'm down around 19mpg. To me that is very impressive. Especially when a Honda civic that weighs less than a quarter of what my pickup does, has a third of the displacement, and a quarter of the power only gets twice the milage.
Hey, I'll bet I can get almost as much stuff into my Civic as you can get into the back of your pickup. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
