I live in the same part of the country, and while everyone has a truck, I'd say about 1 out of 5 owners actually use them for utility purposes.

The rest are pristine showroom objects that have never even touched a gravel road, let alone dirt.

And that haul one single person to the office and back every day at 12 MPG. Hooray.

    My 2016 f150 gets 12.7 l/100km highway, closer to 27 mpg.

    edit: woops 12.7 l/100km is actually 18.5 mpg. All these years I thought 10l/100km was 30 mpg! must have done the conversion wrong once and been basing my whole life off it ever since. It's great to find out something you thought was true is not sometimes.

      That's OK. My 2019 Ridgeline gets 30 MPG highway, about 20 MPG city. That's an advantage of living in the US -- our gas mileage formula is more intuitive.
