I live an apartment. They can never keep track of how many I own. I also have cars in 3 other locations in two other states at the moment.
Only 4 live at home. 2 are in storage.
79 fiat spider - not running yet
84 Camaro not running yet
86 e30 track car. About 6 gallons a track day
87 e30 dd- about 23 or 24 mpg
99 Durango- 13 normal 10 with trailer
01 buell. - no actual numbers run but it is pretty good mpg
oldest is 65 years old, newest is 9
the only one i know mpg on is the 05 avalanche, and it's at 14.5 avg pulling 3000 pound enclosed trailer almost every day. the rest i do not care they are toys. i know the 54 belair gets over 20 if i am not too hard on it.

I agree! The last model year for the US market Mazda MPV was 2005. How do you have one that is only 7 years old?
Easy! I can't do basic math. It's 9 years old.

I noticed you had 3 minivans. Was curious.
Actually 4. All driven daily.

Yeah, I forgot about the MPV.
I feel so inadequate with only three cars.
1 year old Fiat with 39,000 miles averaging 36 mpg
12 year old Malibu with 400,000 miles at 28 mpg
28 year old Monte Carlo that hasn't used a drop of gas in almost 14 years.
I'm down to 3 now. Just sold 2 of them.
Wife's 2008 328 convertible. Maybe 22 mpg. Not exactly fuel efficient.
My 91 mr2 turbo. The way I drive it probably 16-17 mpg.
1966 barracuda. Never kept track bit I would say mid teens with the 340 in it.
Just one. 2003 Focus SVT. 131,000 miles. 20 mpg in-town, 28 hwy. It's thirstier than it looks.
Have any of the math dorks on here figured out how many dead dinosaurs this group has consumed yet?
Four vehicles, actual numbers:
2014 Subaru Forester, 14,000 miles, 33 mpg highway
13 year old Toyota Tacoma 4wd pickup, 213,000 miles 22 mpg highway
20 year old C4 Corvette, 60,000 miles, 30 mpg highway
25 year old Toyota MR2, 131,000 miles, 38 mpg highway
30 year old E30 - unknown mileage (140k+) - I just siphoned 9 gallons of stale gas out, so <0 mpg
25 year old (technically) DD Miata - 194k , unknown gas mileage
5 year old Honda Fit - 105k, ~35mpg, replaced the tires and brakes once since new. No other work needed.
3 cars oldest is 39 years old. Odometer is rolled but probably just shy of 200k. Newest is 12 years old and at 155k
Interesting thread. I think I may be the only one with more capacity than cars at the moment. Looking to add a winter car/beater for 15y/o son shortly.
Only two cars on the premesis:
2012 Odyssey 25k ~20mpg
2004 Saab 9-5 159k ~26mpg
Four at the Moment.
Two iterations of the answer, a subaru wagon waiting for an engine swap, and a 75 Nova that's for sale but getting little interest.
Miata #2 will be up for sale soon as the weather gets nice again or I get off my ass, whichever happens first.
