I get 21 mpg all around.
You won't regret it,
except the gas companies are ripping us on diesel prices.
I try to keep a bout 200 gallons in storage,
when I find it cheap or save my rewards points, then buy it.

Haha yep. Life is tough as a short person
Wife drives a 05 Camry. 130,000 or so miles. I drive a 08 Tundra Double Cab Long Bed. It does a nice job pulling the 5th wheel and the trailer hauling my tractor. Just can't pass a gas station. 16 to 18mpg is about it unless I baby it to get better. 20 has been tops. Due to that I have a 98 Civic as a beater. I drive about 65 miles round trip to work every day and I can get 40mpg out of it.
The Tundra is my third one. First one 2002 was totaled in a bad hail storm in 2011. So was the Honda and our house. I got my next one which was a 2008 just like the one I now have. I got rear ended sitting at a red light by some lady in a jeep. Totaled it to.

I drive a Dodge Challenger V8 hemi. 2016. Dark gray. With five kids, I did my time driving minivans. No more.
Husband drives a Ford Truck like everyone else.
Daughter just returned my old 18 yr old Jeep Wrangler. She bought a Toyota, and the Jeep needs a ton of work.
So, it's sitting in the driveway and we'll probably sell it.

My everyday driver is an '01 Camry with 135k. AuntJoe has an '03 Avalon with 160k
We both also have a Dodge truck. Mine is a '94 Cummins with 288k. Hers is an '05, gas V8 with 160k.
Yeah, I'm old. My new ride is a Cadi, but also traded my Lexus with my daughter so I now also have a Toyota Tacoma. It is great for running around town.

What am I driving...People Crazy.......Naw really a 2014 Frigidare.
I tried to talk my wife into this instead of the Suburban, but she said no.
Awesome looking wagon, but I’m with your wife on the Suburban
2005 Chevy Colorado. Bought it used in 2006 with around 10K miles on it. Today it has 92,000 miles on it and it will last till my children take my Driver'a license away form me.
We have a 02 dodge 2500 turbo diesel (mine), a 01 Mazda 6, a 96 Jeep wrangler and a 00 vw bug. The bug sucks.
If I'd had cash I'd buy it from you, though I'd really like a 4wd with a bit if towing capacity. I love my husband's YJ.

This one needs lots of work. But the body and interior is good. Probably sell it to someone who likes to piddle with cars. I know it needs a new transmission. That little jeep has saved my butt many times driving in the snow.

Red and Ivory heated leather seats, red leather trim package,heated mirrors,beats stereo,sunroof,trunk.
Charcoal black with gold pin stripe.
Back up cameras.
Mileage when I bought it was 31 miles in April of 2017.
At present date mileage is approx 2085 miles.
286 miles to a tank of gas. $ 20.00 fills it up.

That Nissan Cube back window would be $$$ to replace I bet. We have to worry about windows when parking in Albuquerque. Our last busted window was on our old SUV. Someone saw something in it they wanted. Before that was the Jeep. Our son has a box type car, he bought an Element and loves it.
I'll second that my 04 slt 2x is turned up but not as much as yours,not much can catch it from a 70 mph punch
I get 24 at 73 mph or just under 2200 rpm at 55/60 it can go as high as 28,I burn Lucas injector cleaner in every tank full 3 oz per 10 gal just under 300000 and no problems yet.Also every drop of lube in it is Amsoil and use their filters also
Your basic grocery getter,great for the inner city places like St Louis
I believe all of the different Taxing authorities are making more of a profit then the gas companies. Then add on the cost of the Feds emissions regulations.
Evey drop of fuel leaving a refinery has a Fed tax applied to it. This money is redistributed to the states for roadway/signage improvements. Then at at the pump another Fed tax is applied per gallon. Then the State applies their percentage sales tax on top. So in reality the state sales tax is applied to both Fed taxes which of course we the consumers pay too.

I also bet it would be expensive, and I could only guess it would be as high as $1,500 to replace. If I had to actually replace that back window, I'd just go to a junk yard and buy an entire rear cargo door. That would probably be a whole lot cheaper!
