General vehicle thread

[iego]

Currently I run a Hyundai Accent. Paid $13.5K back in 2010, and have 35,000 miles on the car. Beat that

(I did buy a motorcycle with my savings (a Honda CB600 F4i) another $2600 up in smoke...)

I guess we are talking gas mileage now.

Our vehicles has.
mpg
14 city/20 highway
16 city/23 highway
28 city/37 highway

Non of them are truck/SUV/Van.

My full size truck gets about the same gas mileage as my wife?s small SUV. Not sure if that means my truck does really well or her vehicle just isn?t that good.

It?s okay though. We have three other vehicles that all get over 50mpg.

And everything we own goes more miles on gallon of gas than a Tesla.

My two boys (4 and almost 2) checked out the rental van yesterday while I install all their car seats. I have been unequivocally corrected on my hatred of it. The oldest informed me that it's great because:

It has a steering wheel
It has a horn
It even has windows!
It has a seat for mommy
It's the best van and it's the one he always wanted
Oh, wow!

Why can I picture Irving looking at his mini van before he bought it an saying these exact same things?

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean.

Sounds like it's a winner then and your opinion is false.

Real question here Jer. I am catching up in this thread this morning, and something you said raised my eyebrows.

How does one "abuse supercharging"? Keep in mind that everything I know about ev's, I've learned from this forum.

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean.

It means my truck will go 16-20 miles on one gallon of gas and a Tesla will go zero miles on a gallon gas.
