Im looking for a new DD and let my 16 yo daughter drive my LC 80 back and forth to school I do a lot of highway driving and 13 mpg is killing me. My first tought was a small 4 cyl hatch back. I want to be able to load up my mt bikes with the veh.
Im looking at a 01 5pd 2wd. My biggest need is MPG. This would not be a trail rig. I thought of the X over a hatch back due to the abilty to haul my bikes, gear and two sons for overnight camping trips. I often drive on mantained fire roads while on mtb trips and the higher clearance of the X would be nice over a small hatch back.
What kind of milage could I hope for? How much better milage would I get from a 4 cyl X?
edit Sorry for the (E)xterra spelling didnt catch that
