Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Just to be clear, small trucks weren't good on gas either (I would know, I've had a bunch of them) and we're at the point where full sized trucks and mid sized trucks get pretty much the same fuel economy. The shape of the vehicle is bad for fuel economy, it's that simple...

I could get 25 mpg average with my old ass stick ranger regularly going 75+ mph.

You're luck to average 19 mpg on a flat highway going 55-65.
