Same here, or approximately - I was driving a CRX in 2000, an Insight now.

But the more interesting comparision is what it costs me to drive a mile, versus the "average" American, or the SUV driver. When their gas is $3/gal, I'm paying the equivalent of 60-90 cents per gallon :-)

Just to be sure, are those the 3.77L gallons or the 4.55L gallons? Or better yet what is the price per Litre? People In the land of the tar sands are wining over $1.05/L. I feel my IQ go up one point for every cent that the price rises In short order I will have become a genius...

That is $2.02/L for us which is almost double the $1.05/L people are whining about in the land of the tar sands.
I can see the future and it has a 3.3L/100km Yaris with a boat tail
