Ok, I either somehow skipped over the post about your truck and the explorer getting that mileage or it didn't show it until I refreshed the page again.

If we go on a long steady drive, the truck will get up to 22 mpg. We've actually gotten just a tad bit better than that once on a steady interstate drive of about 150 miles.

But around here locally, anywhere from 17 on up depending on if we figure in a Mingo trip or not. That slow 5-10 mph speed for 3-5 hours really kills the mileage.

I've about stopped driving except for work and dr visits and such. I just can't afford the gas.

Now if I had a motorcycle, I could do a little more.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Trying to justify it any way I can.

Haha, yeah mopeds do really good on gas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No liquor cycle here. It's motorcycle or nothing!

You guys and your crotch rockets! Rice Burners rule, huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nope, no crotch rocket either. I'm too old to ride laying down.

I'm not REAL fond of laying backward or forward for riding, I prefer what they call a standard bike where you sit pretty much straight up.

Something like a Honda Nighthawk or a Harley Sportster fits the bill pretty well. The one I want is a Harley Fat Bob, and it can be set up like a standard with middle controls.
