filled up today for 34.1 MPG

not bad for a new route and short trips.

I was going to sell it and buy a ford but the guy backed out.

I need a moped I pay too much for insurance to drive on average ~17 miles a day. some days none some days 100 miles.

I got the 49cc skateboard from Oldmech I plan on putting it on a mountain bike and cutting car use in half if not lower.

Very achievable goal. I break 40 all the time and your car has better aero and is probably lighter. Not sure how it shifts but if you feel comfortable you can still pulse and glide. I do with no problems in my automatic.

I should but I need a kill switch / start button the key is kinda hard to reach while driving.

I get ~40 on trips over 15 miles but I only drive over 8 miles a day once a month or so.

some one yelled "KEEP IT IN NEUTRAL BUDDY"
on my way home from work today it really made my day

I had no idea they made those cars up to '96. Those cars just SCREAM late 80s. I could have used one of those instead of my Cherokee to go to the Night Ranger concert last year.

Still planning on going to a 4 speed auto?
