LOL ...almost makes me want to go out and buy the Scion.;)

and if you plan on racing MTB's this is a must 4 doors its bigger than a car inside, 8ft bed, dually, 6.6 diesel. gets 25-30mpg on the highway at 80mph


25-30? not happening...half that on a good day. I have 3 friends with them....one managed 18.5 strictly highway at 65mph. However, it does has 5 times the torque and 3 times the weight of most cars, so thats still pretty solid considering.

around town is like 12mpg.
20-25 all the time high way. These trucks with the allison hit 6th gear at like 75.. with a fresh tune up, No traffic no hills 75-80mph 75 degrees out. And hankook tires with 80 psi make a huge difference. it got 30mpg on one road trip. No BS

The Moped
With my front tire off, my bike stands up in the back of my saturn vue, and it has a 70/30 rear split seat. So I generally put my bike standing up in the 30, all the clothes/food/water/bags in the trunk area, 2 people in the front, 1 in the back in the 70 section, and 2 bikes on the hitch mounted rack.

But Kirt just gave me a rack for the roof, so this year it will be 2-3 bikes on the roof, and 4-5 people inside.
It gets a solid 25mpg

Anyone want to buy it? Heh, it was given to me and I can't drive automatic.

Don't piss off the red guy
Why not save yourself a ton of dough and buy my wife's 2003 Mazda Protege5? But you'll have to deal with driving a yellow wagon around though.

Minivan

Im rocking the MINIVAN as well Chrysler Town & Country ... I must admit I was'nt too thrilled to buy one but since the arrival of my twins I knew it was a Necessity, so Now I can fit 2 bike the trailer and all kinds of other stuff plus have seating for 4. On solo trips I can also fold all the seats down toss an air mattress in the back and enjoy... So I agree with Arwens Mom....

Minivan= Motovan..
 
I have an Audi A4 with the fold down seats. My bike fits in nicely on it's side, front wheel off. Limited to one bike though. I have the automatic with Quattro. I average around 26 mpg, have gotten up to 37 on longer trips.

It also doubles nicely as a snowboard/ski carrier in the winter!
