I hate you Fox! JK Ya it sucks! My truck gets around 12mpg city. Ive been trying to use my yamaha xs650 to get me most places but its hard when you usually got several things to take that are to big for a bike.

Now that the weather has gotten warmer I've been driving my '81 Kawasaki Kz250 which gets about 80mpg. It costs me under $8 to fill up with 92 octane, so no, I'm not hurting too bad right now. During the winter however, I was getting 14mpg with my v6 4x4 dak. That put a dent in the wallet.

Well, my '94 was getting around 21, but with the bigger tires/rims, not sure atm. Probly about the same, so not too bad yet.

I am not in that bad of shape yet. I live 4 miles from my work, but I have to drive 15 miles one way just to get groceries every week. But everything is about to change as I will be moving in with my"woman friend"who lives 38 miles from work this december. So after next year I will be getting a Harley sportster that gets 60 MPG I am super excited about this as I have wanteda motorcycle since I was 16.
