    Dear fellow Pancake eaters,

    I have decided that this is the greatest Fuelly page of all time:

    Dually (Chevrolet R3500) | Fuelly

    I am not here to belittle. I am not here to be above this person. I am here to laugh my arse off in the most jovial of manners. :D

    He may epitomize my rule of thumb, that it is cheaper to run a paid off, reliable car than to take on car payments. Lucky for him he drives only about 100 miles a week. That, or he is smart enough to only use the truck when it is needed to do truck things.

    I was more impressed by the transmission: a THREE speed. Wow.

    Very well designed site by the way. If I was still tracking fuel economy I would post there.

    It seems smart, perhaps, but then you see his other car is a 2007 Escalade. Recent fill-up of 12.6 mpg :)

    I got one:

    "Yo mpg's be so low, yo momma thought they were liters per one hundred kilometers. Oh, schnap!"

    (PS, yeah, you can text your info right to the site from the gas pump, very convenient if they're out of paper for receipts)

    7 Mpg? I'm quite sure my 1976 Cadillac Coupe Deville Gets better gas mileage than that.
    All it makes me think of is:
    My car gets 40 rods to the Hogshead, and that's the way i likes it!

    Even the latest full size Kenworth should beat that.
