I was about to reply with "hold on now, the newer vehicle has all the latest safety and emissions features..." and then I remembered it's a pickup truck.
Congratulations for getting 18MPG, I guess. I have an STi, which I dearly love and will never sell, and which I parked as soon as I could afford to start making another car payment. Squeezing out 22MPG commuting tanks was a soul killing experience. I can commute in the Fit and get nearly 40MPG, sometimes better, and arrive at work with a big smile.
