You Go Boy, Drop That Pump

This is all besides the point, however, and the real story is about a dense gas station owner that shut down to "help the consumer" by, uh, removing one more piece of local competition so other stations can raise their prices. Good job, dumbass. That'll show 'em!

No, no, no, he was trying to make a statement, but nobody got it.

2007 14/18mpg

You're mileage may vary.

H2s and their low Tahoe chassis have as much to do with off roading as, well, Chevy Tahoes.

As I understand it from pros that test these things, the H-2 is as capable off road, as any vehicle on the market including the CJ, except the H-1.

For the 2003 Insight, fueleconomy.gov lists the mileage as 48 city, 59 highway, 53 combined, but I have consistently averaged 66 mpg or higher in mixed driving, with lots of up and down (altitude, I mean - home is about 2500 feet higher than work).

How heavy a trailer will it tow?
How many kegs of beer and cases of chips will it hold?
How many suitcases can a family of 4, take to Wally World?
How far up the fire trail, to the hunting/fishing lodge, will it climb?
How many surf fishing rod holders will the front bumper handle.
Does bringing 500 lbs of salt home, as I did today, effect the mileage?

At the price of vehicles these days, very few can afford a complete set of them. That means most have to find the Crescent (adjustable) Wrench or Vice-Grips, that will do what they want to do, the best.

A two car family has the luxury of splitting the duties between vehicles, but the reality is, in many families both get driven to work. Even when only the husband works, unless you marry Jinx, the wife wants the lighter duty, more mileage vehicle for her kid taxi.*

To me, the Prius looks like a one-trick pony that wouldn't serve my needs(wants) very well. Besides, it doesn't look good on me.


*Yeah, I know, sexist stereotyping. It's just an example, deal with it.
