irrelevant frank. Ever wonder why so many people who can not afford the gas drive bad mpg cars?

well its easy really. the 15mpg SUV is cheaper. Period. sure you can say in 2 years you will have spent more in extra fuel than a metro costs.

OK give me the next 2 years in fuel savings IN ADVANCE right now so I can go buy the metro and I will pay you back over the next 2 years with the gas savings?

No? now you know why people drive 15mpg SUV's :-)

a $1000 SUV is doable a $3000 efficient car is just not doable for a lot of people.

now back them I was not thinking about fuel so much. gas was cheap I was being paid well.

Now its more a passion for me. I want to give as little money to the auto/gas companies as I can :-)
