And Ford trucks are AMERICAN assembled - they keep jobs here in the States. I'd be pissed to see an American brand made and assembled in China.

I've only used half a tank of gas, in the 92 Explorer I would have had to fill it up by now. But I will say this it has a large gas tank because it cost me $65 USD to fill it up after driving off the lot. If I dont drive alot, I can see me filling up every other week or every week and a half. I live less than 10 minutes from work so gas isn't really going to kill me unless I drive long distances such as from here to Little Rock or Ft. Smith - which I dont do often anyway.

But I am EXCITED!!!

FC - are you going to Yell Fest this year? If so you and TJ should come down, I plan on taking my DD and you can come see the truck!

Then you're good to go.

One thing you have to remember, you might end up doing a lot of errands so you will have to drive it a lot, everyone does that once in a while. I drive 36 miles round trip commuting to work 6 days a week. That is about 216 miles a week so I must have a good fuel economy car for that. My car gets 30-33 mpg depending on traffic, speed, weather, etc.

I am sure she know this thats why she looked for a good truck with good mpg one she can depend on and be dependable for doing errands and going to work only 10 minutes away.

Ok let me know about that, alrighty.

Just got done figuring up the mileage on the Sport Trac - wow. I only had to top it off twice during the entire trip.

I can get from here to Broken Bow OK on half a tank, and from Broken Bow to Denison I used roughly half a tank, so in essence, I could have driven straight through on a full tank. It is roughly 8 hours from Denison to here. Wow.

deafbajagal · 05-31-2008, 02:24 PM

THAT is impressive, especially with skyrocketing gas prices.

IslandBreeze07 · 05-31-2008, 03:52 PM

Dixie, Congratulations!!

The truck is beautiful. The mileage not so bad. You being excited made me smile becuase I remember getting our car for $8K with 20K miles on it, one owner before us. Great condition. It's not often we nail a good deal!!!

Way to go girl!!

PS I'd love a Toyota Tundra extended cab but trying to figure out what we could use in a year or so given the cost of gas now....

Let us know your average mile per gallon when you get the results.

Most SUV and truck (low mpg) got price down when gas price go up. It's normal.

Cong for new truck.
