This is pickup country. Cars just won't hack it on our gravel roads, especially in muddy or snowy conditions. I've got a 1998 S10 with a 4.3 V6 and automatic. It gets close to 25 mpg.

summer time / winter time
In the summer it is my M38 Willys and my F15A CMP. In the winter it is my 85 Dodge 5/4. Occasionally the wife lets me drive her Saturn but it is a bugger to squeeze into.
Cheers from Windsor Ontario, home of the Ford CMP Mike

Wife drives a Mini Cooper S and I have a VW Jetta TDI.
Mini Cooper is suffering a Power Steering issue, so i'm driving the M151A2. Actually, at one point for about 3 hours last week, my M151A2 was the only vehicle in my Fleet that was running. Scotty

Daily driver
My daily driver was a 1989 Chevy pick up with a 6.2 diesel and a five speed manual. Two weeks ago I sent it for scrap with 560,000 KM. It had some severe rust issues to the under side. My winter car that has become my daily driver is a 1997 Chrysler Intrepid. I miss having a truck already, so I will find another.

Like Cletrac I have an S-10 with a V6 (1994) with 460,000 km. and a 1990 Chev 3/4 V8 with 585,000 km. The miles add up when a round trip to work is 200 km. "CHEVYS RULE"
 Neither truck has had the engine opened.Barry

Drive
I drive an old Ford Falcon XG ute.
Like Mike's Falcon I have converted it to LPG dual fuel. I drive it pretty hard most of the time, it returns 14l/100km (20mpg). Engine is the fabulous 4.0 litre inline six and is rated at 148Kw (almost 200hp) Running on LPG means that my 550km week commuting to work costs me around $45. It has around 230,000km on the clock which is F.A. for one of these things... XGute.jpg NL.jpg Jo's Drive is an old Fairlane, also on LPG. This is the largest Aussie car in the Ford range & it returns around 11l/100km (26mpg). A tank of LPG costs around $40 & will get us 450-500km, the engine is a later evolution of what is in the ute & is rated at 165kw (220hp). Also has around 230,000km on the clock My last Falcon had 450,000km when I sold it, the one before that had 350,000km on it (but the odo did not work for seven years of the ten years we owned it!)
