Miles Per Gallon (Highway): 21

2) Cadillac Escalade EXT
Miles Per Gallon (City): 12
Miles Per Gallon (Highway): 15

3) GMC Yukon Denali

You might be wondering where the super-huge Ford Excursion is on this list. It might be here, but the EPA doesn't rate the Excursion because, due to its extreme size, it's not considered a "passenger vehicle."

Clearly they are screwed up. The Dodge Viper is considered a pseudo aircraft and as such does not qualify to be on this list. Excuse me, I gotta fill my tank.

They focused in on the city. They did that before with another car (toyota minivan.) I guess since the roads are becoming more congested then the city is more relivant... though I don't see it either...

Lets flood the author's email... what is it? I want to complain!

My license plate frame reads: 8.0 L, V10, This one can fly!

BTW, anybody here who can explain what is "fuel consumption"?

We do not need to let them test mine since the upgrade of the engine they would be quite shocked!

Like someone said it is not a car it is a Jet!

Money mag article:
The worst five gas mileage cars
The big, big boys of the automotive world

The 10-cylinder, 2-passenger Dodge Viper tops our list of the worst gas-mileage cars. The others are all, not too surprisingly, large sport-utility vehicles. It's a safe bet that the people buying these cars aren’t overly concerned with their fuel consumption.

You might be wondering where the super-huge Ford Excursion is on this list. It might be here, but the EPA doesn't rate the Excursion because, due to its extreme size, it's not considered a "passenger vehicle."

&gt;&gt;&gt;I need you guys to translate some rammstein bootlegs for me&lt;&lt;&lt;

YOU like Rammstein? I will translate. Let's see how long you will like Rammstein...

Two years ago I had to translate Rammstein songs for an 11 year old boy (the son of a friend of mine in Cleveland) and I decided to NOT translate literally...heavy stuff!
