Crushing them unfortunately.

I roll in a 2013 Chevy Cruze ECO, stock save for a tune (can't leave anything alone :baby. Has 60k miles on it now, can't say the nicest things about the build quality of the interior, but the powertrain is decent. Wouldn't buy the new one, they are butt ugly.
If you really want to save money on your daily commute, buy something super cheap and junk, and spend the $20k you just saved on fuel. At 15 MPG vs. say 40 for a new car, and $5/gallon, the break even point is 96,000 miles. If gas stays at or below $3/gallon, the break even point moves out to 160,000 miles.
Edit: to run these calcs for arbitrary values, use this formula:
Miles to break even = {cost savings over new car} * {new car MPG} * {junk car MPG} / {cost of gas} / ({new car MPG} - {junk car MPG})
example:
Miles to break even = $20000 * 40 * 15 / $5 / (40 - 15) = 96,000 miles

No duramax for me(not even a parked one lol) but I'm rocking a 2003 exploder with a bad transmission
Yes, its gas. Diesel isnt worth it in a MB unless you drive Alot. The gassers have lots of power so thats not a problem.
I've had those.. Checked it one time for giggles.. More smiles per gallon than miles

I think if I stay out of boost and just be gentle leaving lights etc, it will crack 13-14 mpg, maybe more if its all highway.
For the most part though, its hitting wastegate more than not :rofl:
01" ford focus that I paid 1200 bucks for. 27-30 mpg depending on how much it idles in the winter. Heater and stereo works:thumb: Blue truck sits most of the time, 11 years old with 95K on her
Fuel efficient?!? Whats that? :roflmao: My truck a-l-m-o-s-t gets the same mileage as my Aurora.
But the Olds is a smoother, quieter, more comfortable ride back and forth to work.

My worn out lly averages like 14mpg on my 10 mile commute. Best tank ever was a whopping 17.2mpg. All flat highway @ 65-70mph. She has issues
