Pfffttttt! My 2012 Ram hemi is currently getting about 3 weeks to the gallon. And, Mrs rktman’s 2007 volvo S80 V8 is getting even more than that. So, with any luck, we won’t ever be buying another vehicle. Are there cars I’d like to have? Yeah. But, practicality wins out on this one. Then again, which of us ever thought we’d be in the state we’re in right now? :-)

"... currently getting about 3 weeks to the gallon."

My first vehicle was a '65 Econoline van that I bought used for $350 in 1976. It was a real clunker. But it got 100 miles per gallon.

I kid you not.

Oh, hold on there ... you didn't think I was referring to *gasoline* did you? Of course not, silly! I was referring to *oil*. Yup. 1 quart every 25 miles works out to 100 miles per gallon.
