My V8 half-ton pickup truck gets better mileage than many 90s sedans.
- rasz 8y agobecause "many 90s sedans" in US came in V8 straight from 60s, try comparing against Jetta, Corolla or Civic.
- thrower123 8y agoThat's kind of comparing apples and watermelons. My truck tips the scale at between three and four times the tonnage of such a compact car. And still I'm getting better than half their mileage. It's a far cry from the 90s model of the same truck, that was getting single-digit mileage.
- dorfsmay 8y ago> comparing apples and watermelons You are the one who started with the comparison! > My truck tips the scale If you use it to do something you could with a normal car like commuting or shopping, does it matter? A lot of people I know who have pickups use the bed 3 or 4 times a year. Renting one when needed would make a lot more sense.
- AmVess 8y agoWhich is completely wrong. The top selling cars in the 90's had 4 and 6 cylinder engines.
- rasz 8y agoHe didnt say top selling, he was comparing to Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Town Car, anything Panther body, most shipped with 1960s 5 liter Windsor v8s in the nineties. Even in top selling you had V8 Ford Taurus SHO. Otherwise he would have to look at Camry, Corolla and Civics with no way of coming to a brilliant "my truck is so fuel efficient" conclusion.
