“Never again will I have a small truck.”
Here here.
I loved my old Toyotas. But they were for roads where people passed other people at 60mph. Mine got anywhere from 30 to 20 (2wd truck or my very, very heavy 4Runner) mpg. But then the gas changed.
Last I drove one was in 2010. It would get about 10 mpg and barely get out of it’s own way. The engine was perfect - the 22RE with 120k on it was barely broken in.
The gas today is utter garbage. If we were running 1980 fuels in the 2018 cars they would be getting about 200mpg and have about 200hp without a sweat.
We had a 1990 Geo, a Chevy made by Suzuki.
It would get 40 - 50 mpg. Absolutely unbelievable. So we bought a brand new 1999 Geo and it had to struggle to get 35 mpg.
