Fuel Economy???

[Fireman78]

When I first switched from my Tacoma to Power Wagon, I was shocked at how much the gas mileage thing would affect me. I was getting about 17 in in my Taco, and heck, I was complaning about that. But then I went to the Power Wagon, disclamer-( I needed a full size for my side forestry buisness). I am now getting between 10-12 with my new beast. I miss the Taco, as it was a great exploration vehicle, but as far as all out, do anything, haul, tow, climb, crawl, carry, pull, ect.. nothing can beat the overall package I have put together with the PW. I honestly hate paying the $$ we are all paying, but now there is just no way I could ever go to a different vehicle. It does everything! I have cut back on other things to make up fo the gas thing, like....fewer trips to REI, Sportsman Warehouse, ect. Perhaps someday we can get gas $$ down to 2.50 a gallon, I could live with that!

I bought my truck early in 2005 when gas prices were just starting to go up so I did think about fuel economy. I have broke 20mpg on highway trips which considering its a full size truck is pretty decent. I still see people with small trucks having trouble getting 20mpg, freind of mine bought a brand new toyota tacoma last year and I'm beating his gas mileage still, his v6 to my v8. Though I killed my economy when I switched tires
