MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Credit-card delinquencies hit record

**Halon** · 09-30-2005

I drive a 4cyl galant, gets on avg 27mpg. My uncle drives what I consider to be a fairly big truck. He has a Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel. When I was working with him this summer, he avg right around mid-low 20's with the truck full of painting crap, and towing his big trailer full of painting stuff. That big truck was getting about the same mpg as my dad's buick. That's pretty good I think.

Maybe it's because I came from japan where they payed around $4/gallon a year ago. So I can't imagine what they pay now. So even though are prices are up, they still are no where near what they are paying so I still consider myself lucky. Or again maybe I don't blame things going wrong in my life on the government. I like to think I am in control of my life and so I just work hard to make sure that I am OK instead of counting on some agency or the government to come to my rescue.
