    Fucken hell my 25 year old Tacoma gets better mileage, that’s factoring in uphill mileage loss of going uphill along the 15 towards Vegas.

      No shit your midsize pickup gets better mileage than a heavy-duty full-size one, even if the latter does have a diesel. Were you surprised??

        It’s just the fact that my old ass car is getting better mileage than a modern truck. Especially since most of these big fuckass mobiles generally leave the basement less than my basic bitch Tacoma which is just a 2WD drive.

            Bikes will always get better mileage than basically any other gas powered vehicle with maybe the sole exception of trains. If memory serves right Germany was still using motorcycles right till the end of WW2 after a everything else ran out of fuel.

            Idk just seems weird for anyone to want a gas guzzler when better shit is available especially when you don’t need it for anything else. Hell with how shit modern cars are and how expensive they are on top of that you could probably pay someone to build you a car if you supplied the frame for cheaper.
