Yeah, It's got the 4.0 SOHC V6. Runs strong but not exactly an economiser. I do have the tires pumped up to 45 lb though and that probably helps a little.
It's cheaper to keep 2 cars, ZX2 for daily commute and the Exp. Even with the additional insurance I'm saving $1500/year on fuel. Not to mention wear, tear and tires for the Exp are more expensive than the ZX2.
