Let's take a wild guess: you're complaining about the skyrocketing price of gas. There's also a good chance someone in your neighborhood could care less.

all of those cars except for like 2 are 55k- 200k luxury vehicles. If someone can spend that much on a car they can afford the gas.

I thought it was kind of funny, i was seeing Lambos Benz Astons then Bam: Toyota Sienna, Ford Ranger, GMC. A bit of a drop off as far as price of a vehicle

Have to admit, the Toyota Sienna surprised me when it came up. Shoot my Suburban gets better mileage than that.

this is hilarious. i think Ferruccio Lamborghini would be turning in his grave if he knew his sportscars were being classified in the same league as a smart fortwo.

seriously who are they trying to kid?

I think they made a slight error on the Toyota Sienna.
I just looked at the EPA sticker for 2008 mileage and the hiway was 23 not 21
The dealer service manager told me he thought the rating 23 was not even correct as most customers are doing 24/25.
Who you gonna believe

Even at 24 or 25 it is just slightly better than the ol' Burb does.

1999 with the 350. Maintained very well and I regularly get 21 or 22 on the highway with it. Good batch of gas and it has hit 23 but not very often that happens. If I am pulling the camper it drops to the mid-high teens depending on terrain (Penn & mountains- 15; Plains states/flat - 18).

Not going to get into what the 1989 3/4 ton Burb gets with it's 350 and Turbo 400 Tranny with no overdrive. Let's just say it is what people think of when they think "gas guzzling SUV's" . It will pull a house off a foundation I think and it is the one I keep around for the heavy duty tows and jobs. Don't drive it much anymore, but it is paid for and no reason to get rid of the ol thing.
