I am in the same situation as you with my 11 WRX. Been tuned and running 93 octane for the past 8 years so know those premium gas struggles lol. My question for you though is your R32 a VW or Skyline R32?My Bronco gets about the same or maybe a little better fuel economy than my R32. So it's a lateral move for me. My R32 however, only likes 91+ octane. So ultimately, its a bit more costly to run. I wouldn't worry about it too much. The Bronco is so much fun to drive, it offsets the cost.
I had a Chevy LUV truck in 1980. Where there's a will, there's a way.If everyone drove go-kart-sized-cars without back seats we could solve the population problem
VW, I wish it was JDM. But it's still pretty hot.I am in the same situation as you with my 11 WRX. Been tuned and running 93 octane for the past 8 years so know those premium gas struggles lol. My question for you though is your R32 a VW or Skyline R32?
Definitely battled with this. I'm a bigger guy and I just don't fit comfortably in a Tesla 3 or Y. I'm not spending 100K on an S or X. The soon to come out pickups are tempting but don't fit in my garage ... and they are not going to be cheap either. Coming from over a decade of Wrangler ownership, I know I'd greatly miss being able to go topless. I also need a capable winter vehicle. Yes, plenty of AWD and others are fine, but the jeep and I expect the Bronco are phenomenal. I like being able to go off road if needed even if it's very rare. I like not worrying about potholes , curbs, or other urban tire / suspension wreckers.Not trying to start a climate change debate...
So I am stoked about the Bronco. It was the first car in a long time that made me consider swapping out my Subaru. I found a lot of cars recently follow the same bland look and the Bronco checks all the boxes for me from a design standpoint. For practicality reasons I need the 4 door as I am the usual driver of people and stuff for holiday, ski, beach, etc trips. I never forgot that the Bronco being a box on wheels and thus never going to be great on gas but this extended wait time has allowed me to continually contemplate the responsibility of driving said box 45min to work each way on top of trips. I know EVs have their own environmental impacts but it does feel selfish to DD a Bronco while it largely isn't being used off road. Any one else have this internal debate? How are you wrestling with this?
If you haven't figured things out by now and don't realize there are better ways of doing things, I don't know what to tell you.Honestly though, can someone explain to me the rationale behind this cult of environmentalism
everytime someone mentions it and is all cereal about it, I check to see if theyre from California.
Global cooling, global warming, climate change, cow farts, the profit Al Gore, etc. etc.. Been saying the earth is gonna die in 10yrs for the last 60 or 70 now, nothings happened, really wondering where the flying cars were, also we were promised jetpacks
Most of the people around me driving 100K+ teslas are not liberals.The people who would lecture and shame you for driving your Bronco instead of a electric nerdmobile don't pay your bills and don't give a shit about you even if you didn't drive your Bronco.
You only live once and if you like it, drive it.
