Drafting, do you do it?

D: Thread got Flea-bagged.

Except choosing dialup over DSL isn't going to limit the global warming you're causing like choosing a 4cyl Ranger instead of a V8 tundra which btw is a horrible example considering that the mileage difference is negligible.

Ever try putting a snowmobile or motorcycle in the back of your parents' Volvo?

Hint: It won't fit.

My point went right over your head....DIDN'T IT D: What he should have compared was a Ford Fusion with a Ford Fusion Hybrid which then I would have responded with "yeah you choose the non hybrid because you're not paying the cost of the environmental impact that the less efficient car has"..

You don't have a point. This thread is not about fuel savings in the interest of global warming. If you want to spout off stuff about that, go make another thread.

Well considering that this thread started off with a thing about drafting and then another person chimed in with their retarded beliefs about drafting=hypermiling, I don't see my point nor the guy comparing the tundra and the ranger as really out of place.

Sounds like you need to re-read the thread. Global warming is entirely out of the scope of this conversation. The additional fuel costs incurred by a vehicle of choice does most certainly belong in this conversation, because it is about the costs involved with driving.

A 2wd 4cyl Ranger gets 24/29mpg. A 4wd V8 Tundra gets about 14/18. Contrary to your mistaken belief, that's a significant difference.

More like the 2WD Ranger Automatic with the 2.3L has a 21mpg combined while the 2WD Tundra Automatic with the 4.6L V8 has a 17mpg combined... I choose the 4.6L V8 because it gets slightly better mileage than the V6. The Tundra has a hell of a lot more towing capacity and room than the Ranger, not that it excuses EITHER of these vehicles from being gas hogs.

Global warming isn't out of the scope of this thread considering that some people draft to save gas and reduce their environmental impact, like me....

You're the only one talking about global warming here.

I'm comparing the 2010 Ford Ranger and the 2010 Toyota Tundra..

I'm comparing the 2005 Tundra and the 2005 Ranger (because I have a 2005 Tundra).

Fine, then it's even easier..

2005 Toyota Tundra automatic 4L V6, 18mpg combined
2005 Ford Ranger automatic 2.3L, 21mpg combined
2005 Ford Ranger automatic 3L, 18mpg combined..

Further proving my point that the only reason why the companies had these certain trims was not to save fuel but just to make an overall cheaper vehicle which is complete bullshit. If I'm going to get a smaller vehicle, it better have good mileage to go along with it.

WTF are you talking about?

WTF are YOU talking about? Why don't you just end it and go to sleep as you clearly don't even know why we're arguing. I need to shower and go to bed and you're preventing me from doing that.
