My guess is the gas tank is proportional in size. Ask them how much it takes to fill the tank with premium.

Just the thing you need to drive to and from work in the wilds of the Bay Area.

Or..how about this truck that parked next to me at Solvang 05...

my daily driver is 2500hd dodge ram 4x4 w/cummins diesel...
price for diesel and premium is about the same in my area...
i get about 12-17mpg in my truck
i get about 8-14mpg in my datsun

i love them both...
but i wish i had a car/truck/motorcycle that gets me 100mpg

man you only get 8-14mpg in the datsun? There must be something wrong with your engine (or you burn that rubber all around town!). i get mid to upper twenties all the time.

you could get a vespa for 80mpg...

Alvin dont park too close cause one leap and its in your seat.Rob

That’s pretty funny!!
I’ve also got a Dodge 3500 quad cab dually, never though to put the 2 side by side to compare. Guess these cars are really small.

You really want to know??

towing my boat, weights about 10.5k, somewhere around 6-8 mpg
non towing 8-13 about what your roadster gets, lol

Yosh (look'n for a gas station)

Geez, that's insane. Either you guys a) don't drive much, b) have big salaries, or c) skip luxuries (like eating!) in order to purchase gas.

I scream at anything under 20mpg....like my Ford Ranger. Looking forward to better gas mileage AND looking cooler in the roadster.
