The XC-90 gets 10.2 KpL and we have an X-type that gets 17. or 30 and 50mpg respectively.

Don't bother with the prius nonsense, how they managed to convince Americans you need a hybrid pollution machine to get 50mpg I will never know.

Hi,
I have bought a used car, and it is running well. I am satisfied with it.

I drive a '95 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition 4x4. 351 V-8. I barely get 11 mpg which'll explain why I have a 32 gallon gas tank. Here's a picture:

100_0017.jpg

I've pondered the notion of getting another vehicle, however, on certain occasions I really need to have truck such as to pull my 6 1/2' x 12' heavy duty trailer among other reasons. So, I want to be able to keep my truck. The reason I don't get me the fuel efficient car that I want is because of the insurance. Yeah I could add the car insurance to my truck insurance but mathimatically I was trying to save on gas mileage the savings in gas by having a car would go straight to the insurance company which isn't going to work for me trying to save money. Very frustrating. The only other thing I could do is to get a moped or motorcycle...Still pondering.

I don't understand if I'm Single and the ONLY driver to vehicles why do I have to pay more for insurance when Logically I can ONLY drive one vehicle at a time. To me it makes no sense.
