I filled my truck up the oter day....21+ gallons @ $2.78 + $60. I did the calculation, and I got a whopping 13.09 mpg. I don't drive every day like most on the board, but still, that a bunch of crap. God bless you, I don't think I could do it anymore. If I drove 60 miles per day, round trip, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year. That would be $3,309.80 in gas alone! Anyway....I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
I was in England a few years ago, and saw my 1st SMART car. It's made by Mercedes Benz, and will be coming to America soon. I know it looks goofy, but, it's a car that grows on you, the more you see it. They're pretty quick, due to the power to weight ratio.

I see a Buck Rogers Ha HA that cool one!

I'm on my second Grand Marquis with the 4.6L small block V8.  I average, in mixed driving, over 22 mpg.  While nothing earth shaking, it's acceptable for me and I get around in comfort - btw, only requires regular - Nissan needs premium.

My next car will either be the Hyundai Sonata V6 (superior price), or the new Camry... if a decent price can be found.

I have a F150 Supercrew 4 door with the 5.4 litre engine and get around 17 MPG. I drive the $hit out of it too. If gas gets to $5.00 a gallon I will still drive a full size truck! It will be American Made also!

Some how I figured you for a grand marquis or a linclon. 

I am still running on the same tank of gas in my car from may(may 13th to be exact.  That's the day I bought my neo.)   I got about a quarter tank left. The longest drive was to go get it inspected. lol  It won't blow away though, Cob webbs are holding it down.  I'm prepared for Rita II.

I drive two big fuel eating, emission emitting, music blaring 4x4's. And the way I look at it one volcanic eruption produces more hydrocarbons than every automobile ever built.... But I do still feel a little sick every time I fill them up.
