This made me giggle. The parking lot in my job is filled with trucks and all those people are always bitching about gas prices. Then there’s a select few of us. that have cars that can easily get upper 20s or 30+ miles per gallon. I will never understand a lot of Americans obsession with these big ass trucks and SUVs! It makes it much more ridiculous when it’s their daily driver or a four-wheel-drive truck that has rubber band tires and/or the lift is so high that the toe and and camber is forever off or the driveline angle is so off it vibrates!

I'm from the UK and my car gets 40 MPG around town. On a long motorway run it goes up to nearly 60 MPG.

It's a 16 year old ,1.9l turbo diesel.

I am happy with the current level of my masculinity.

Men with fragile egos must reaffirm their masculinity through "manly" things like big trucks, protein heavy diets, and alcohol.
