philmiami All-Star Author Miami Posts:502 Points:179,960 Joined:Apr 2004	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2012 12:34:08 AM Ignore philmiami Report Abuse 2011 F150 2wd RWD SuperCrew 3.7L V6 with cold air induction (Volant w/scoop) and reprogrammed chip (5star tuning set for performance) so I get 16-18 in town (depends on driving habits) and 22+ highway. Went from a 2004 Chevy Colorado 5 cyc 3.5L 2wd RWD @ 17/23mpg So got a bigger truck with about the same mpg after a few tweaks Better ride, more comfortable and more secure (6 airbags) Of course I would have wanted a Prius but I like bigger so the comfort versus gas savings. Comfort wins. [Edited by: philmiami at 7/4/2012 3:35:30 AM EST]

ron6887 Rookie Author Missouri Posts:3 Points:4,110 Joined:Apr 2012	Message Posted: Jun 30, 2012 11:42:53 AM Ignore ron6887 Report Abuse I had a four-wheel drive Dodge Dakota, but it got to the point about 3 years ago, where I could not longer support its expensive drinking habits. I traded down for a smaller 6-cyl. SUV, then down to a 4-cyl. Chrysler Sebring. Loving the improved gas mileage with the Sebring.

bloonfoot Sophomore Author Cleveland Posts:132 Points:880,015 Joined:Nov 2009	Message Posted: Jun 30, 2012 10:00:43 AM Ignore bloonfoot Report Abuse Although my primary vehicle(s) for over a decade have been front wheel drive, and they make it through snow when it's not too deep, I'd rather be driving my van when the snow piles up, because of the higher road clearance. Our current Honda Civic is especially low to the ground, so there's much less clearance even than our older Focus. I notice that when the roads get really slick and 4WD vehicles are speeding by, we end up passing many of them eventually where they lost control and spun off the road. 4WD can be handy, but it doesn't make you invincible.
