2. There was a show called Rich People's Toys
or something akin to that on the Travel Channel.

Those Monster Trucks with the huge tires get
75 feet per gallon.

5. Well.... you'd be surprised how efficient some of the newer
electronically controlled fuel systems are on these big diesels... and there is very little rolling friction on them there steel wheels... still I would not want to drive one to work.... :)

8. I actually rode in one a few years ago
My best friend had one for the bridesmaids on her wedding day.

She's a pubbie (shocker, eh>), but when it cametime to replace her car last year she really wanted a Prius and settled for a honda (couldn't wait 8-10 months for the Prius).
