My first vehicle was a 1984 Toyota 4runner, 22r 5 speed manual. my second was a 1989 chevy blazer, 4.3l V6, 700r4 4 speed automatic. the 4runner got about 25 mpg's highway, not bad for an SUV. like all rice burners though, it's power band was at a high-gas-guzzleing-RPM. and it had only a measly 90 H.P. so it had to nearly be floored to keep up w/ traffic.
my blazer, with nearly twice the engine size, would easily get 35 mpg's. like most american "redneck" engines, it has a wide spread powerband and a low redline at 5000RPM. but because of it's wide powerband, under normal drivng conditions, it shifts at about 1600 rpm and idles at 480 to 500 rpm. and it has about 200 H.P. and near 300 Ft. Lb. or torque. so rather than guzzleing gas, it sips rather politely.
...until you floor it. then the RPMs jump up to 4000 and you can watch the gas gauge go down... that is, if you eyeballs arn't stuck to the back of your skull.

One of the original pimpmobiles. A large, rectangular car with cloth seats that resemble sofas. The 1989 white model is generally considered the ultimate Caprice.
If you drive a white 1989 Chevy Caprice, you're probably either a pimp, a mobster, or a senior citizen.

The Car that my friend Terry Drives around seattle. Also the make and model that my friend Greg used to run over and kill a penguin in Priest Lake, Idaho when he was in college, effectively totalling it. Penguins are tough.
