Not a suv but remember the "Geo Metro? 3 banger manual 5spd 58 mpg's ran smooth like a sewing machine. Can't think of any suv getting 25mpg's these days. Subaru is close and just remove the rainbow decal.

My daughter had one of those Geo Metro's 3 banger and 5 speed with air conditioning. She gave it to us when she got a different car and we had around 150,000 miles on it and then gave it to my son and he ran it over 200,000 miles and sold it to some other person.
Only things we ever put in it is alternator belts, tires, and 1 timing belt. That's it.
I miss that car.

2007 Ford Focus wife drove it for her work car. 249000 when we gave it to my sister 2 years ago. Never touched anything on the power train just brake and tires and oil changes. It got around 32mpg in summer and 28 in the winter. Had all the bells ad whistle's. Only bad thing is that it ate tires like crazy. LB

Went and filled my red diesel jugs for tractor this morning I usually get 20 gallons for around 40 bucks , this morning I 18 gallons for 100. Struck up conversation with a guy filling a field service tank he said it will cost him 1000 bucks to fill his tank, I asked him if it will last all day and he said no, this is my first trip of 3 . Combine, grain carts and a tractor cultivating . He seemed mighty nervous and jittery.

Embarrassingly whiny thread. High gas prices have you guys all tizzied up? Heaven forbid we get an unnecessarily developed plague unleashed on us or something of truly nefarious intent. Like a slow takeover of the U.S. and Canada governments by Islam loving globalists for instance.
