What do you ride or drive?

[Tipsy Gypsy]

My '97 Grand Marquis gets pretty decent (IMO) mileage for a car its size- around 22 mpg. I'm lucky to have an 8 mile commute, too - much better than the 40 mile drive I left for my current job. Best part is, she's paid for and runs well.

'05 Saturn ION
30 mpg which is great till you add in the 73 miles I drive daily to get to work and back! 

Me wants a Honda Hybrid or anything that gets over 45 mpg!!!!

I have a 2007 Honda CRV. It gets 24 to 25 miles to the gallon, which isn't too bad for an SUV I think. It's an ultra low emission vehicle which I like about it. I drive very little right now, though, so gas isn't bothering me yet. I'll get my due in the fall though when I start work.

On the island I walk almost everywhere; however, I did just purchase a Mitsubishi Lancer which I will use for grocery runs, etc.  When I'm at work I drive a 32' Beachcat with dual 250 hp engines.  Here in the states I ride my 2003 Nighthawk 750 (Honda) when I can.

With gas prices, I now wish I had a smaller vehicle but I drive a 2006 Jeep Commander and my hubby a 2005 Jeep Rubicon...both extreme gas guzzlers and we work 36 miles r/t..bummer

Up until now, this has been my dream car...I even had one for about 10 years...






But awhile back after going to Canada, I found a new love...even saw one today.





And this is my current ride...wish it got better mileage.  Still love to drive it, though.

What I hope to pick up tomorrow...

I drive an '04 Mazda 3 hatchback.  It gets amazingly good gas mileage.  I do wish mass transit around here was easier and more accessible, because despite the good gas mileage I would still like to cut back a little, not only on gas money but to give my car a few extra years.  Alas, we have yet to jump on that bandwagon yet, haha.

Also have an old CJ-7 jeep, more rust than metal, but was my first new car. Got a Ford ranger for long hauls and a Jeep Cheerokee for caving and getting inside storeage.

Wuld love a VW bug tho. Just cause.

[Lord Dragonspyre]

I drive a 2008 Kia Spectra 4 door Sedan. It gets about 24 to 27 mpg in the city, which is good.

[Pat McGroin]

  I have a F-150 SuperCrew (4door) that gets about 17-18 mpg. I'm one of the lucky ones bacause
I only drive .9 miles to work. If it get to bad I can walk to work.

Thankfully the rogue and I work at the same place.  He works one end of the complex me the other so we car pool.  Yes we pay a little higher rent but we live 2 miles from work.  Back in April we picked up 2 50cc honda scooters.  We kitted them out with trucks, and windsheilds.  We have been getting 100mpg since.
We take them to the grocery store, walmart, mall, the train station.  Yes we get laughed at by the guys in the Hummers, and on the big Harley's but we like them.  Mine was used from Califonia and is cream with Hot pink Hybiscus on the fenders.  Hey if you are going to ride a girlie bike go all the way, so my helmet is pink, and so is my jacket.  Hey at least you can see me on the road.

There was an NPR article my husband read that said that in NY, San Fran, and some other larger cities the dealers can't keep scooters in stock.  With such good gas mileage, and only needing a drivers liscense for the below 125 cc it is a great option.  With payments + insurance it is cheaper than paying for gas.

The vehicle we use when we make long hauls or carry alot of stuff is our 2007 Ford Focus. We bought it on New Years eve so got a sweet deal on it, and it get's 30mpg.  Thankfully the worst we have to do is a 50 mile round trip to a theater and back delivering costumes. And now we are finding we can take the train in so that is only a 12 mile round trip. 

A friend of ours had a leather worker put special straps on his bike's saddle bags.  That way he can take his swords to Ren faire's with him.  It is the only way he can get there with the gas prices so high.  He can't afford to take his RV.
