It's got to be a bit heavier with all that weight added, how much extra fuel does it suck up because of it?

It weighs about 600kgs more I believe. It is a bit heavier on fuel...maybe 10%. According to the previous owner. However, the tyres on it are also a bit bigger, so it's giving false readings for speed and mileage. I'm not sure if he took that into account. The chip and exhaust win some of it back.


How often do you guys usually swap cars?

My truck gets about 23 highway and 18 city, but it's also a diesel. They're making big 8 and 10 cylinder gas engines that get that much and more now though. The door tag says it weighs like 8800 pounds and I have it registered at 10,000 pounds.

We swap cars according to our needs I guess. Finances factor in. Leasing if you can afford to always be making some kind of car payment gets you a new car every two years. Some dealerships put limits to mileage and what not on leases. Some models are not available for lease, so we buy them.
