    Well people could stop buying those big Rams and all that. Having said that, I got talking to a Kiwi bloke that comes into work as a contractor. His has a 6.4 litre diesel engine and it gets better fuel economy than my Subaru Outback. Like WTF !?

    He also told me all the comparisons with his LandCruiser, and the Ram wins absolutely.

    Also, it’s not America in general, it’s that fuckung orange piece of shit and his cyber robot that were really against. What a bad shit show. Lots of people siding with Russia all of a sudden. Talk about blind sheep, sheeeesh.

      Fuel economy isn’t really about engine size.

      I recently sold a 2002 Subaru liberty that consumed about 13L/100km. Our 2018 Subaru Forrester consumes about 6L/100km. They’re the same engine size.

        Well yes ok. But in this case I’m talking about a huge monster that is twice as big. And has an engine that is more than twice as big. Not actually the same comparison as the one you made. However I’m fully aware of changes in fuel economy in recent years which is fantastic. ( The fuel economy that is, not the fact that I’m aware of it. )
