I met my goal of marrying a beautiful woman that compliments, challenges, and grows with me... sadly I am not on track to make my pointless goal of weighing 200lbs.

But I see your post is about fuel economy, so I'm proud to say that my wife has learned most of the efficient driving habits that I practice and has very nearly matched my MPG. Currently I average about 30mpg in the TSX, but my next goal is to get 55mpg in a Prius, which I'm in the market for.

It seems the prices in the Portland market are inflated and people treat the Prius like gold, so I might pay SF or Sac a visit next week if I can find a hot lead on Craigslist. And as much as I absolutely love the TSX, the thought of selling it and getting a Leaf has crossed my mind more than once. If they weren't so darned expensive, and/or I could convince work to provide a charging spot, I'd tip that direction. As I've always advocated, a 2 vehicle family only needs one ICE for the long trips, and a BEV for the daily commutes and grocery getting.
