Oil at 109/barrel

Whenever I see a hummer, escalade, navigator, denali, or anything of that nature. I have the overwhelming urge to find out where they park and slash their tires.

Especially if it has "rims" and it's lowered.

I hear you there, but I was not aware of the 3 gals of oil it takes to make each tire :\ (or 10% of the weight of a tire is "oil").

The had another mention of the failure that ethonal will be on NPR this morning. I wish there were more answers instead of problems :\

As for what mileage I get, it's in the mid-20s. Remember, I have an A4, and it's got a 1.8L 4 cylinder (just with a turbo). So it's not like I've got some huge gas guzzling V8 in there. Also remember Audi's Quattro system is designed for road driving, not off-road, so it's set up for efficiency on pavement. BIG difference between that kind of system and the low-geared off-road 4WD that you're going to find in a Jeep, which IS what you're thinking of with regard to 4WD being inefficient. Still, my AWD is great for cornering, dealing with inequal traction between the 4 tires like you get on a road with snow/ice/water, etc. I just wouldn't take it on a rutted dirt road on a bet. Anyway, do I get the mileage of something like a Prius, of course not. But I get far better mileage than a useless land yacht, that's for sure.

no, instead you have a completely impractical and equally useless turbo charged all wheel drive performance vehicle that contributes to the problem just as much. get off the high horse. at least these "useless land yacht" have the option of some utility and function.

i also think mid 20s is rather optimistic, unless you spend 95% of your time on a traffic free expressway where you maintain 55 the whole time.

HEY Fuck you ! I want my 'Hemi 'Cuda back!
