Part of the reason I got my civic was because of my 14mpg POS Bravada. I don't know what was costing me more gas or repairs.

yea cept mine isnt cuz of vehicle choice its cuz of distance traveled, i wish i could blame it on a truck and just drive something else. but i put on a good 200-300 miles a day usually. thk god as of last month i no longer have that position and now only have a 60 mile drive each day. still costs me enough though

I think most people would shit a brick in happiness (oh wait...thats not too happy). watch the video...they are paying $2.65/ga. Thats almost a dollar cheaper than here...if they lived here I think the daughter would hear..."buy your own gas, whore"

Let's see....I spend on average $42 per fill-up. I fill up about 2.5 times per week.

~$420/mo on gas.
