Decent on gas! compared to a 747

I got curious. According to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_fuel_consumption_of_a_boeing_747
a 747 gets roughly
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=17+liters+per+kilometer+in+gallons+per+mile
7 mpg.

If you divide that between the 4-500 passengers, it's quite good. Hell, I dunno, maybe that beats a big thirsty truck outright.

Wrong. 7 gallons per mile, not 7 miles per gallon. Divided by passengers, you're still ahead though.

Oh der -- I was thinking that seemed really really good. Well at least Google got it right.

17 (liters per kilometer) = 0.13836152 miles per gallon :laffo:

spread across 500 passengers, then it's 65 miles per gallon per passenger. AGAIN VIF ZE OVERANALOISING.

So CTA stands for Car Trucks All. Wonder how that's any different from the ol Cars and Trucks.

Looks like they switched it to break down it CTO and CTD - car/truck by owner, and car/truck by dealer. I don't really see the benefit though.

I guess the checkbox for that was too hard for some people. Maybe it's some database optimization or something.

Why get one of those expensive F150s when you can get one of these?

Would you really be confused if a "Chrysler four speed" were a manual or an automatic?

Is it common knowledge that Chrysler four speed refers to a specific manual tranny or automatic transmission model? From reading this entire exchange, I'm still not 100% sure that it's a manual, especially since I'm not sure if the Tremec upgrade is a manual.

They might also be the "few cosmetic defects". The strange thing is that it's a pretty well written ad (considering it's on craigslist). Based on those pics I'd expect ALL CAPS at a minimum, and probably something about all the mad tyte pussy you'll get.

First person to come and get it fer 100.00 gits it.

It is round with some rust on it. And it has got a rubber whatchamacallit around it.

It has got holes in it, but I think it is still usable. I ain't never used it cuz I don't know what it is, so it has never been used......I guess "Like Brand New" is what I'm trying to say.

I ain't got no picture of it cuz I caint figure out how to put up pictures from my 35mm camera, but if you wanna come over, I will show you a picture of it.

If there's one thing I've learned while getting ready to make a listing on Craigslist, its that most people there are illiterate. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna buy your car if you can't even spell the freaking MAKE and MODEL right.

This can be used to your advantage on ebay. Some people use misspellings to find a listing that no one else is searching for, like Hodna instead of Honda.
