HEY! If you can afford a Lamborghini Murciélago, then you don't give a rat's butt about the car being a gas guzzler!

I don't see how that is possible. It seems like it should be getting 15-19 mpg. What are the specs on it?

Stupid List, this list is mainly of high horsepower cars. No duh they aren't going to get good mpg. stupid i tell yuh.
and if you can afford most of these vehicles then they got a fat bank account for no need to worry about gas.

This was good info to know. These are not all expensive cars that you would have the money to pay the gas anyway. The jeep and ford explorer cost a lot? No, they are cheaper cars. There are a lot of expensive cars on here, but if you were going to buy one it still would be good info to know no matter how much money you have. If you knew that it was a gas guzzler when you bought it, then you might consider something else comparable that doesn't gas guzzle so you can use that money on something else.

Dodge quotes an '08 Ram 1500 with a 3.7 V6 and standard transmission to get 16 MPG city, 21 MPG highway.

I would not depend on the EPA for any kind of data. The EPA is one of the reasons we are paying $3.30 a gallon for gas.
The EPA is just another taxing agency for the government.

There is not a single polluting car made, the pollution has been forced on us by the EPA requiring mulitiformulations of chemical saturated gas that we are forced to buy at $3:30 a gallon.
The gas is the polluter, not the car or owner. The Gas product should be mandated to be clean burning before it gets to consumers.

Wake comsumers before America is destroyed by our government and big oil.

Some post find it unbeliveable to get good milage in a V8 vehicle, we have a 96 Impala SS that get over 20mpg in town, so size is not the deciding factor.

Go out and spen $20,000.00 for a little tin can car that might last 5 years not to mention putting your life in danger.

$20,000'00 will buy over 6000 gallons of gas. Would rather buy gas then have car payments in our present economy.

The list makes it look as though all these vehicles have only one engine option. They used the highest consumption engine in each vehicle to make the ratings list. You have choices, people.
