Because the civic is boring DUH!

We just moved from a place where my GF and I each drove 10-20 miles a day every day to a town where pretty much everything we need is within walking distance or bike. I touch the car keys once every 2-3 days. When we do use the car its usually longer highway trips where FE is better. At this point I couldn't care how much gas costs. Maybe instead of FE we should focus more on building more livable communities. Even if my next car got 100mpg, I don't think I could ever go back to driving that much every day. I know a lot of people don't have any choice in the matter.
