For my daily driver i got a 1995 ford escort lx 151 thousand miles still going strong gets me 40mpg. What do you have for a daily driver?.

A 56 Ford F-100. I get between 16 and 17 MPG, but it is a lot of fun to drive.

I have an 01 elplorer for backup which has not even been started in close to 4 weeks now. I think I have put 3000 miles on it since the first part of April.

I drove the 56 just over 500 miles this weekend and around 250 miles this past week.

2000 ford Escort zx2 main DD 36 MPG
Ford Explorer for snowy months and if I need extra cargo room 17-18 MPG
86 Ford ranger to hual stuff around 18mpg never really checked it
Honda Hawk about 65 MPG

Whats a honda hawk? is that like a motorcycle?

yep its a street bike

i drive my truck every day. 16/19 mpg. i'm very happy considering it's a 15 year old 4x4 doing better than almost any truck but a diesel.

my wife's car that we take half the time is a 97 geo prism (toyota corolla). 30/38 mpg. i don't know why anyone would by a hybrid/prius for $20,000 when you can get the same number of features and about the same mileage for 10% of the cost.

even with her car getting great mileage, we take mine a fair amount of places. when you sit down and do the math, a long trip might really only cost us another $20 or so. a lot of times we decide the size advantage on the highway is worth a few bucks

Drive my Ranger every day. Gets mid-'20s for mileage most of the time, can push upper 20s on a trip if I keep speeds around 60. Barely cruises at the speed limit on the interstate, terrifying in the snow, no A/C, but it's a real good truck.

Borrow my sister's '95 Saturn from time to time if she's gone for a while (driving it right now in fact) and I feel like it (or need to do something to the truck and don't get around to it). Gets better mileage (35 last night, cruising at 70+ mph) and has a back seat, but it's uncomfortable and not very pleasant to drive.

My daily driver is my F150 in my sig, though I don't always drive "daily".

Gets me an average of about 12mpg no matter what kind of driving I'm doing.

I drive the 1994 F150 everywhere... It rides smooth and gets tolerable gas mileage. Somewhere around 15ish now.

My sig truck is what I drive most of the time. My mom and dad have a 1992 Taurus wagon. It gets great mileage for a car it's size - about 26 mpg. I borrow it when i can just because of the milage.

When dad & I are working though, we drive the truck. Getting 10.5mpg but hopefully we can do better. It's running way rich - when we fix that, it should do pretty well.

Oh- Grand Marquis and wifey's Crown Vic. Comfy, roomy, and actually great gas mileage (17ish in town, close to 30 on the hwy).

Thanks for the compliments.The bike is a 95.It gets 50 to 55 MPG.The truck as you guys know,I get about 15 to 16MPG.
When I first got the camaro I put a 200-4r it(that trans is now going in my 54 f-100).By taking it easy I did get 19 MPG on the freeway,that was with 3.42,s.
Then I changed it over to a 4 speed and switch to 3.08,s.I quit my job where I was driving 120 miles a day to work and put the 3.42,s back in.
And I got tired of the 4 speed and swapped it back to the Th350.
Which is what I started with.
I haven,t checked it since I switched it back but I think it probably gets around 15 or so.

Old thread but I have an update to add.I traded the camaro for a 94 Mustang GT.
