IIRC, poland has lower fuel prices than the majority of Europe at large. Is it still that way? The lower prices may contribute to an I don't care attitude toward economy.

Thus far, I quoted my MPG figure, and far from being ridiculed, people have been showing off their higher economy figures or complaining about their lower numbers. There also seems to be some intelligent discussion as to the whys and hows of better economy. So it makes me proud to have started a thread that seems to be quite popular.
