Default RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230


ORIGINAL: Eman77
used as a defense. (Prius owners take note).


There is no defense for Prius owners lol



I like the mileage of my Ranger, not sure of the exact figures with the mileage it has on it and such, but 5-speed manual + only 2.5L? I can drive all day and it takes about $40-$45 right now to fill it up.The Alero, a 4k pound car with a 3.4L v6, still only needs $40 a week to make a hour round trip five days in a row. And that Alero is fully loaded for that model, power everything, cruise, traction control, the whole nine yards. I like adding that, as well as find it funny that nobody takes their amenities and "creature comforts" and such into consideration about fuel mileage too. Also, noone seems to think that it is possible these companies do everything the law allows em to "cheat" on MPG ratings, and you may never see those figures in the real world anyways


Edit: Forgot to mention, when I pull into the scrap yard, the truck when empty comes up as 3300 pounds, so I am guessing its actual curb weight would be about 3100, then, with the driver taken out of the equation
