I hadn't really visited this forum on cleanMPG very often. I do like checking out what other members drive, so i figured i would throw my current fleet up on here.
First off, is my 2007 Caliber R/T AWD. This is my 1/2 time Daily driver. It has the 2.4/CVT powertrain. This car is pretty loaded up. I usually don't get a car with a lot of options. I am not a fan of leather interior, or sunroofs, but this car has both. My brother works for the dealer, and they made me a deal i couldn't refuse. It DOES have the Boston acoustics stereo, which sounds fantastic, best factory system i have ever heard. I live in a pretty rural area, and my house sits on a hill, so AWD is pretty handy around here. I bought the Cali new in aug of 2007, and have had zero issues with it. Best tank has been a tad over 30.

This is my other 1/2 time DD
2006 Scion xB, 1.5/5sp manual. Affectionatly referred to as "the box".(note the sticker at the bottom left of the rear window, if you can read it) We bought it new in march of 2006. It was my wifes DD until sept of last year. I have been using it since then. I love this car, i love the styling and the amount of room inside is fantastic. It too has been problem free. I have gotten over 40 in it, and am working my way up.

As of Sept 2008. my wifes DD, a 2008 smart fortwo. She nicknamed it 'bj'(baby junior), and she absolutely loves this car. She has wanted one since our son brought back pictures of them when he was in Germany in 2000. She ordered hers in Sept of 2007, and got it Sept2,2008. Just turned 10,000 miles, only issue has been a goofy gas gauge, which seems to afflict most smart cars. Otherwise, no problems. Best tank was 45, and that was with no hypermiling techniques at all, just my wifes normal driving.

The newest addition is the Jeep
2008 Wrangler. I have always loved wrangler, there is nothing like them offroad. We had a 2000 Subaru forester which was what my wife would drive when the roads got bad. We had the forester for a while, and my wife was never very fond of it. The dealer my brother works at made me another deal i couldn't refuse, so i sold the subie and picked up this wrangler. This is pretty much just for off road fun occasionaly, and for my wife to use when the roads get bad in the winter. We got it in January and it has a whopping 2600 miles on it...LOL. However, i have been getting consistent 23-24MPG tanks out of it. I may even try to figure out how to take the top off one of these days.
