Yea I'm having a hard time collecting all the good 360 games and still being able to get a PS3. Luckily my car is very fuel efficient (Golf) that is also diesel.
Yeah, it took less than $25 to fill my Tracker when I bought it, today I spent $52 filling it up. It gets 24 - 28 mpg around town, at least, but one of the guys at work has one of those new Jeep SUVs with the small V8 and it got 10 mpg the first month or so he had it. It's not even much bigger than my convertible Tracker! (Taller and better leg room though, he's 6'-7".) With careful driving he's up to a whopping 11.6 mpg.
I looked for an anchor dragging behind it, but no luck. For 11.6 mpg there should be wheelie bars and flames shooting out of the tail pipe.

Short little 2-door, 4WD convertible. The hard tops are popular, but there are better similar vehicles. This is my third ('89, '97, '03) and unfortunately does not get the 30-33 mpg of the first two. Sadly these were discontinued after 2003 and no other vehicle comes near to fitting my criteria (4WD, convertible, 30 mpg.) They are DAMN hard to find, too - I was set to drive to Florida to buy one until one appeared just south of me, in Georgia. We got there just after they opened and drove it, and there was a man waiting to drive it when got back from the test drive.Khell_Sennet said:
Hopefully there will be more similar vehicles on the market when this wears out, with gas so expensive.
I have never been happier to ride a motorcycle. I get 60mpg, so every two weeks it costs me $16 bucks to refill my tank. I'm glad it's only a 4-gallon tank, since I have to use premium gas at $4.50 a gallon. I feel bad for all the folks who had to move out to the boonies because housing in my city was too expensive, and now they are being bled dry just to make it to work.
On the other hand, I glory in the suffering of every single Hummer, Navigator, and Big Fuckin' Ego Monster Truck on the road. I hate those things. "I love it! I'm so safe!" No, you are not safe, you are protected which is not the same thing at all. You think you can see everything? Well then why didn't you see me? Oh yeah, that's right, because I was riding along the enormous blind spot on the passenger side that comes from having the top edge of the door panel 5 feet above the ground. And the roar of your Cummings Turbo Diesel engine drowned out my horn and the pounding of my fist on your door as you blithely rolled right into my lane. I hope you die in a caribou stampede.

What were we talking about again?

My legs get nice workouts.
Well I don't own a car but if I did then the petrol prices would make me walk more.

I've never driven a privately owned vehicle, I don't plan on starting 30 some odd years into life. Luckily I live in a place where there's an extremely good public transportation system.
