[Stoat]

The stoatmobile ? Good grief I’m buying midgrade in Chicago burbs and I top out at 70 ( but its a small tank ).

The stoatmobile is a big diesel with a big tank, but to be truthful it's probably more like $80+, not quite a hundred.  My apologies for my inaccurate verbal shortcut  :-)

If these gas prices get much higher I’m going to have to switch to something that gets more than 10.5 mpg around town.

If you are getting better mileage than 10 mpg around town, that would suggest to me that you MAY be driving an unsafe car....  it's absolutely essential that Festus has the safest vehicle possible, made out of steel and not plastic, because if you were to be injured then FR would be without essential law enforcement services (as well as a great FRiend).

(actually, in fairness, the stoatmobile gets around 14-16 mpg in the city, and it has a full 1-ton Super Duty chassis...I feel 'somewhat' safe in it)

Hopefully you might consider something truly safe like this for your next vehicle purchase:

Maybe I’ll get a horse.

Shhh!  Not too loud...someone might hear!  :-)

Actually, come to think of it, it’s only been around $80 or so because I never let the tank run down very low. If I were to let it run down to nearly nothing then it would indeed be over $100. to fill at today’s prices.

But, I would prefer to pay for fuel than hospitals so I have no problem with owning a big vehicle with a big motor :-)

Well one would think that a 1/2 ton domestic quad cab gasser would be made of steel but you are correct. The entire grill that they advertise on tv about how tough the truck is with a robot smashing it in vain, is made entirely of plastic. So you do have a point.

So you are really getting that good a mileage eh ? Of course your around town and my around town might be different towns. When I upgrade at some point I either want to go diesel or else hopefully the 3/4 tons will have E85 gassers. I can either run the biodiesel I see at some of these pumps or else the E85. I don't care how much less effecient it is as long as I can piss off a shiek by using it. ;-)

Of course one might wonder how we got on this topic on a thread thats all about beatiful young and potentially loose women with toy guns............ I mean Miss Kitty wasn't exactly well anyway back to your regularly scheduled programming.
