1985 Chevy Monte Carlo - this was the V8 gas-guzzling "sports car" I drove in high school and college. 0-60mph was great but had to fill it at least once a week only driving in town. Of course, from 1993-1997 gas was not at $4+ and it was easier to drop the hammer down the strip!
1995 Ford Ranger - my 1st car out of college and I bought it 1 year old. Was outstanding on gas compared to the Monte Carlo and a nice little truck to buzz around in. I wasn't into ecomodding then, didn't even know what it was, and thought the back of my truck was for a second apartment so dragging an extra 100 pounds in the bed of the truck didn't seem like a bad idea. Funnier story...because my truck was two wheel drive I loaded 300 pounds of sand bags in the back during the winter to get better traction living in Buffalo, NY...major no-no but I had no idea at the time!
2003 Isuzu Rodeo - Basically a brick box on wheels! Horrible gas mileage, terrible accessories, couldn't wait to get rid of it! Enough said!
2005 Toyota 4Runner - This is my current vehicle...and I love it. All the bells and whistles you need and for a mid-size SUV does pretty good with 22-24mpg (about 6-8% above EPA without any physical mods). I am new to ecomodding so looking forward to getting this car up to snuff approaching 25mpg.
2008 Roketa 50cc Scooter - My new toy to drive to work when the weather allows. Had it about a month now and logged 90mpg on my first tank! Try to get it to work at least 2-3 times a week to supplement gas usage on the 4Runner. Fun little guy to drive!
