Or, you could get a 4 banger con-Fusion like I did.

Fold the rear seats down, a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood fits just fine, as long as you cut it in half.

When I cleaned out Pasadena Ford, I had 60 bound parts catalogs in binders, two microfiche viewers, another dozen catalogs without binders, some binders only, 500 microfiche slides and a lotta other jazz in this car, and still had room for one Basset Hound, and a stick of gum.

She, who must be obeyed, recently drove the pile 340 miles RT from LA LA Land to San Diego, got 35 MPG.

I love these fuel mileage threads, too. I especially love them when people say they spent mega bucks and now they've gained (a paltry) 2 MPG.

I wonder if they thought...beforehand...how much gasoline could be bought with their mega bucks?

You can spend a grand, you can spend ten grand attempting to improve MPG, but all you are doing is throwing your money away.

When you have a truck shaped like a brick outhouse, the gain in MPG will not be worth the money spent...not to mention all the time and labor involved.
