Haha 3. slow
It was a thirsty truck as well, I never tried to get good mileage in that truck, 20-21 mpg was the numbers i was seeing with it. Sold it, bought my Beetle and enjoy 3 times the mileage.
For every $50 i put in the Beetles tank i would have had to put $150 into the Rangers tank.
I have a hitch & trailer for the beetle so it does everything i need it too.
