Back on topic, I'm curious why there are two lumps in the results here. The 50-100k and 150-200k groups are really pulling ahead. We've got a small sample size and it's obviously no representation of the average driver, but it seems to say something... though I have no idea what. Is there a big group of us who drive older cars to save money (ecomodding for economics) and then another big group who drive newer cars on longer commutes and feel guilty (ecomodding for the environment)? This is wild speculation; I want to hear more plausible theories.
Well I was also thinking about it a little, like why is 50k-100k and 150k-200k so high while 100k-150 is not, being in the middle you think that it would be up near them too...

It only makes since for the graph to look like this: where the 0-50k stars in the middle then it gets bigger then drops somewhat dramitically at some point since most cars dont last past say 300k... Well the graph MOSTLY does look like that except the 100k-150k

and actually if you wanted to go with that trend (represented as the red line) then the 100-150k should be just slightly higher than the other beside it (maybe a 24 or 25 vote) and it would be the peak
