I like that second bike. What is that?
 
Mazda6....been having issues lately with vacuum leaks....kinda pissing me off.....probably go Toyota or Honda next
 
I didn't realize it snowed that much in L.A.!
 
When fully loaded, I only get about 12-15 mpg. Otherwise, 17-19 on average. It has a 30 gallon tank, so I can go a long way without filling up. With the baby, this has become the "Family Car".

I needed a truck that could carry a ton of metal at one time. I was looking for a Silverado, when I saw that they had a really good deal on this (roughly the same price, once talked down). The Mrs. really wanted something with leather, heated seats (she was already thinking of the baby) and so we got this one. I've been pretty happy with it since.

I got my salesmen HHRs, since they didn't need to carry a ton at a time and needed the big-time gas mileage.

I love a good truck as much as the next guy, but that is appalling. We really need to be driving more efficient vehicles.
 
Believe me, I'd love it to be 40mpg. But until someone builds a truck that can carry a ton, carry 5 passengers, and have more than 20mpg, I'm stuck with this.

just curious, how often do you carry a ton and 5 passengers?
 
Over the last couple of years, multiple times a week delivering welding supplies. Don't do much of that anymore. Now it's basically the wife's grocery car. I take the train in.
