C'mon you are out there. Our congress has been giving special tax incentives to buy cars weighing greater than 6000 pounds.
Do any V8's get greater than 10 MPG

Not me. I bought an economical car the last time gas prices went crazy. People don't get it. Volatile/high gas prices are the new normal after deregulation.

My truck was about 12 or so, but I no longer have it. It was an '89 Chevy 2500 with tow. I got rid of it last year though.

Why do you hate the planet?
Seriously many of these politicians and high level environmentalist leaders lead very ungreen lives. They fly all over the place, drive many miles, and live in big energy wasteful houses. They are pure hypocrites.

Yeah, I live in the bay area. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it gets 15-20 (which is bad). I made it from here to LA - about 420 miles on a single tank - roughly 20 or so mpg.
I have one of these:

My previous car was a 4cyl Chrysler PT Cruiser. It was the most comfortable car I've ever driven, but it only got 17mpg highway, 15 around town.

No car on earth gets less than 10mpg "officially". Even the fully armored Humvee (not the Hummer civilian model) got 10mpg, even when fully loaded with missiles and shit.
My every day cars get about 40 mpg
My fun car gets about 13 mpg
Not EPA estimates, actual real life driving and stuff.

I used to a few years back. My Jeep TJ v6 had 35 inch tires and a lift though. I think I got like 11-13 mpg, not below 10 but close. Gas was under $2 back then though, so I didnt mind filling up that 18 gallon tank.
This was when off roading or in the city. On the highway I think I was around 18-20

Yea... even the Jeep website says wranglers get 21mpg, and depending on the driver you might be able to squeeze 2-3 on top of that.

My Jeep gets 15.4 mpg overall. (That is what my dash tells me anyway)
It sucks but I really do enjoy the ride.

When I was a teenager, I had an '69 Oldsmobile 88 that got 7-8 MPG due to the way I drove it. That car was incredibly awesome, though I spent more in tickets and raised insurance premiums than I did for the car.
