No offense to anyone on here, but I am amazed at people who are looking at purchasing brand new vehicles at what they cost these days, to concern themselves with fuel economy or whine about gas mileage.
Reality is, when you are spending $30k on a little truck or $80k on a full-sized truck, pissing and moaning about fuel economy is nonsense.
I totally agree with your point. And to add to that sentiment, most trucks in a particular class weigh about the same, the engines have similar efficiency, and they have similar drivetrains (and efficiency). Guess what? There isn't really much difference from one make/model, in terms of real world MPG assuming that they are using the same type of design (i.e. can't compare hybrid to a non-hybrid) or technology (vintage is important here). Under the same use conditions.
Anyway, the similarities show with the owner submitted data on Fuelly. Of course, assuming that it is honest data which I really don't have a reason to doubt on the whole.
