We all want the best fuel mileage out of our vehicles, but we are all more than willing to sacrifice a few bucks in fuel to get to the lake 20mins sooner and to not get passed 30 times on the highway. Those things are trying mentally and sometimes going slow is harder to deal with then spending a few more bucks on gas.

A oh so true of a statement. That's why I think of "real world" mileage for your average guy, not the mileage grampa gets when driving as slow as possible from stop to set speed and then saying my full size truck gets 20 mpg. Yeah, one day in perfect conditions driving at 50-55 mph.

Another place to go for fuel mileage info that I have found is model specific forums. Just search for "tacoma forum", "F-150 forum"...etc... The ones I have looked at are pretty active and have MPG threads.

To each their own. I'm only in my mid-30s but I don't need to race to the lake to save 20 minutes. I also don't race around the lake to get from spot to spot. I enjoy the ride wherever I am as much as being at the spot...plus I get better mileage and don't mind being passed by all of you. I just enjoy the view!
