Geez Corey.. you and your abstract posts that don't give enough information


*edit* are you saying that managing 327 miles on a little more than half a tank means $4/gallon isn't a big deal?

My focus (daily commuter)gets 20-25 in traffic and 30+ on the highway. I dont use the highway to get to work though I can usually baby it through my small commute shifting when the little light tells me to and it will do ok.

My SS gets about 12 mpg around town and will burn nothing less than premium....I just had to bump that timing up, didnt I?

Im not buying a hybryd until they are over 70 miles per gallon, then I will consider. At 45 miles per gallon its not worth it to me now. Rumor has it the 2010 Prius is going to be 100 mpg, I will be on he waiting list if that is the case.
