You really need to chill. I get 20 to 21 MPG on a 6,600 lb chasis that makes me a living. Yeah I'm happy with the truck.

I'm not happy paying $ 4.50 per Gal for fuel because Ecomaniacs won't let us puch a hole in the ground HERE in the USA.

I drove a Susuki 185 for three years 40 miles each way, even in winter, to help save the planet. Like riding a chain saw but got 42 MPG.
I drove a K car that got 36 MPG for 225 M miles to help save the planet.
I drove a 1986 Benz diesel that got 27 MPG for 10 years, to help save the planet.
My House is super insulated and uses a Tome wall to assist cooling and an attached greenhouse to assist heating. I compost most, if not all, my organic refuse. To help save the planet.
I garden organically, have since I was a child. To help save the planet.

My treat to myself was a sports car that some say is "underpowered," but gets 27.5 MPG...to help save the planet.

get off my back.
