Don't know if you remember the 2x4 dodge bighorn quad cab we bought. 2008 with LESS THAN 20K now. Actual price paid $13,575.00. IF I do my part, I willget between 18-20 mpg NOT on the highway! 4.7 engine. But I have to keep it below 2K on the tac and NOT take off very fast. Not easy but can be done. I like Dodge! Anyone know how the Caliber is?
I've driven Jeep Compasses, a buddy of mine had a Rallye edition for a bit before he traded it (I still hate him for it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />), and other than a few changes to the external fascia, as far as I know they're practically identical. May have a few differences in the suspension and other internal components, but they're the same basic vehicle.
Put it this way: I had a TON of fun with that Rallye on the mountain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I can almost watch the gas gauge go down when I'm really getting on the gas on my 1500, but if I'm light on the pedal and not too worried about getting there fast, it seems to really stretch the gas. I drove it for 4 days this week all around town (registration, etc.) and it used less than 1/4 tank of gas thus far. I think the tank is a 30 gallon though, because I filled it up at 1/4 full today, and it topped off at 26 gallons.
