Just bought a full-sized F150. 2.7 liter engine, crew cab, short box.

And it's going to be my daily driver. After the first tank I'm doing 10.5 liters per 100 km, or about 22 mpg. That's better than my Hyundai Santa Fe was doing.

The Chevy does get better mileage, by the numbers. But not $5000 better.

It does what I need it to do, and what I *THINK* I need it to do.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV won't tow over 1500 lbs (that's a cargo rating, *NOT* a tow rating!), the Volt won't tow and has little ground clearance, the Leaf won't drive for 220 km (130 miles) in an evening ... which I do most Fridays. The Model S or X would have worked ... but they cost more than my house. And used models are still rare up here.

I really didn't want to buy another dino-burner ... but I'm too darned practical to buy something that won't do all of what I think I need. SIGH!
