2007 GMC HD2500 4x4 Duramax......I have seen 20mpg on the highway but back and forth to work it's no bargain and diesel fuel is at $3.75 right now.......Buying another vehicle to go 7 miles to work makes no sense.....

depends on the day

91 Jeep Wrangler on 32's, generally with the top and doors off on nice days

or

07 Trailblazer SS with 400RWHP ( yay for mods).

Both suck on gas, but oh well. Might get rid of the trailblazer for a 2500HD or something more useful.

Due to cash for clunkers, and the fact that not a single dodge 1/2 pickup truck could be had under that deal(I wanted a 5.7 Club Cab 2wd or 4wd) a 09 Mini Cooper S 35-40 with good gas(New Jersey and south, I don't know why) and highway speed(80 or under), 30-32 driven racecar like..and up here with winter crap gas....I think it got 18 at Epping power shifting to a severly traction limited 15.3's over 14 or 15 1/4 mile break in runs. Launching a stick FWD with run flats is not easy, but more fun than a 6 speed 5.7 RT Challenger with goodyears.

The turbo is better on gas than the blower.

Rod you have any pictures of that 93 D350 stretched crewcab?

I have a 93 stakebody D350 with a liftgate with its sips like a bird HD360 magnum. It doesn't get a whole lot of use, but it is a fine driving truck, and not too shabby off the line with its 4:10 gears within the dana 70.
