[Shotimes] Now (OT), was 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Ron Childs]

But it is gas guzzling when Expeditions, Excursions and full size 4x4 pickups are used for personal transportation to haul a driver and no more than a bed full of air. For every mile they are driven with a full load, there are 50 driven empty.

No, I don't, as there is no such thing as a "gas guzzling" ANYTHING.......

As you may have noticed, I have made this an OT topic. If anyone wants to
respond, do it to me privately, as this is a definite OT topic.

Whenever I see "gas guzzling" or "urban sprawl", etc, in anything I read, it
is a liberal, socialist, middle-class-values-hating, ignorant comment.

OK, as my friends do, they haul 6 passengers to soccer practice with gear.
What "guzzles gas" more? One Explorer hauling these 7 people (6 kids +
driver) & gear getting 15 mpg, or three Honda Civics hauling these 6 people
plus three drivers getting 30 mpg each hauling the same stuff?? Sorry, this
40-50 mpg BS is only highway miles, not around-town reality. 

SUVS are useful vehicles, plus are safer than other cars. "Gas Guzzling" is
fightin' words for those of us with any sensibility, unlike "pie in the sky"
liberals.

Sorry, you obvious touched one of my "hot buttons".

Do you have the same problem up there
seeing all these ugly gas guzzling SUVs with 30" wheels with the spinning
centers?
