Hello my fellow eco-nutz long time since I've been on here.

A lot has changed since January/February. I broke of the engagement to my now ex-fiance 2 days after Valentine's Day. I immediately started talking to a woman out in Missouri and a few months later, moved here to forge a life with her and her 5 kids. Lo and behold, things would not last. I got kicked out Wednesday night. I packed up all my stuff in the ZX2 and moved into a RV by a friend I've made since moving here.

Pure Craziness.

Through all this mess, I kinda let the car go in certain ways. I drove for a long time with my fender skirts and wheel covers off due to getting so many flat tires )lots of dirt roads here in S. Mizzou), inside got dirty, late oil change, on and on. I wasn't really driving for economy anymore, as I valued sleep over leaving early due the stress of 5 young ones. So my mpgs have been mid to upper 30's for the longest time, until a few weeks ago I started back at it and have had back-to-back tanks at 42+ mpg

I've been considering selling this car too. I've not kept my word I gave WonderBoy about his CRXfi, and that bothers me even now.
