I drive 2008 Lincoln and sometimes the 2006 Superduty 4x4 ext cab. I got 40,000 on the truck. The truck has a V-10 engine and loves gas. I also have a 2003 Ford Taurus with 48,000 miles on it as a spare vehicle in case something goes out on the vehicles.

We just traded off our rice burner for a gas guzzler. Toyota Corolla to a Chevy Impala.

Yup - feel like I'm driving a Caddy instead of a riding lawn mower.

We have a Impala at work for our use. It gets pretty good mileage. We also have a Grand Prix & a Bonniville. B'ville gets the best mileage & is the most comfortable. The cars are there for us to use when we need to go ona trip or run around Wichita. I mostly use one of the cars because the new Chevy 3/4 ton pickup or the Dodge pickup suck up the gas.

The Impala doesn't do all that bad on gas for a big car - 24 to 25 mpg. Just got spoiled with the 33 mpg in the Toyota, but I'm not ready to trade back. We had a 2004 Impala that got 28 - 29. I think this one needs the computer reset or something.
