I have a few "daily drivers" my f250, which gets around 20 mpg, jeep grand cherokee diesel which gets slightly over 30 mpg, and my yamaha xt 600 that gets around 65 mpg.

Those figures are calculated by hand, and an easy foot!

My 4.2 F150 gets bad mileage, but what I spend is less than a truck payment.

My 2004 Taurus gets 22-24mpg combined average city / highway driving. On the flats on the freeway it can get up to 30mpg according to the on-board instant ecomomy computer. I also have a 91 F-250 with a 460 that is bad, and my 76 F-100 with a built-up BB 402 (.60 over 390) is even worse!

My DD is a 98 dodge stratus, used to be my dads, it gets between 27 to 31 combined usually. 2.4L 4cyl 150 hp.

Used to have an 86 escort, carburated, sometimes would see 40-42 if i kept it around 60. That car was the best though, I could do 90 and still get 32-35!

That moped has something wrong with it. You should get 100+ mpg with that thing. My GSXR 600 got 45mpg with plenty of high speed runs.

My B2300 (ranger clone) can get close to 30 MPG hyw. Unless you turn on the A/C, then it drops to around 25. Mainly due to 5th gear becoming useless.......

My 2000 Lexus ES 300 (present from grandpa, I was driving the volvo 740 my parents brought me home in before he gave it to me) gets 17-20/22-25ish city/highway, depending on how much fun I wanna have and/or how pissed off I am.

I've squeezed out 22mpg in my Dodge before. It's usually around 19-20 though.

My bike gets 30mpg.
