The apocalypse vehicle of choice for the discerning survivor is and has always been the boat. Preferably a mid sized fishing trawler. Set up for running long trips and catching edible fish with material handling capability and plenty of storage space.

A friend has one, she is a die-hard Jeep person and she has had no end of trouble with it.  So par for the course I guess?  Keep a stash of spare cash on hand for frequent repairs.

It seems like the higher MPG vehicles have a narrower margin for exceeding the sticker MPG.

The only problem I have with Fuelly is it generally cherrypicks people that tend to hypermile or at least be mileage conscious.  That being said it’s obviously possible.

I wonder if that number is one of those “realistic” numbers that most people will meet or exceed, or one of those “you better be driving downhill with a stiff tailwind” numbers.

I hadn’t noticed before, but for the m/y 2019 Hyundai made a pretty decent Fusion.

Bring tire chains or you might get stuck on one side of the pass or the other.

F**K YEAH

Google tells you those numbers but doesn’t cite them, which is funny because a host of other sites list the crew cab as being optionally configured “up to 12,000". I have a funny feeling those numbers are without the tow package or are for some specific setup because even road tests of the diesel F150 crew cab 4WD list…

That’s still pretty efficient for a boat too!

But if you attempt to fly in a truck it will end badly every time.

LOL WHAT

Compared to boats 6 gallons per hour is pretty tame. Plus you can cover a decent amount of miles during that hour.

Keep up the good work, just checking out what is in the background is endlessly entertaining.

What you’ve done.... is made the perfect classic SUV.

Can confirm. The water is chock full of crazy schemes up here. 

That’s because liberals drive Subaru s and don’t talk about it because they don’t know its a thing.

Have you seen a Roxor? They are literally half the size of a current Wrangler. No one who can pass as mentally competent is going to confuse the two.

FCA smells money and wants a piece. Mahindra is in the right here and I think they are ready to prove it.

The *actual* pace car got bored to 3.4 presumably because the race had to be done in under a day.
