I am SHOCKED at the ages on this forum...but happy about it
Judging from your signature, I think you and I are alike in the sense that we
have a dichotomy of vehicle "loves". I like fast/powerful cars (see my Trailblazer SS,... I've had a '96 Impala SS, an LS1 Z28, and a supercharged Z71 truck) AND fuel efficient cars (although I don't have any now, I've had two 3-cyl, 5-spd Metros, a 5-spd Saturn SL1 and a 5-spd Pontiac Vibe...all of which got 45+ mpg and the Metros got 52+ mpg)

With most people, it seems to be one or the other. You go on a performance car/truck forum and mention anything about a 4-cyl (or God forbid, a 3-cyl) and you'll get responses of "I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those econoboxes".
