More like the GTR and RAM didn't come in that shade of blue. I'm not sure she knew what MPG was, let alone how to calculate it. She's a sweetheart though.

BTW, the 2006 Aveo is rated 25 MPG for a 1.6L car. Fuelly says people were getting 27 MPG out of it compared to 32 MPG for the 1.8L Corolla.

Oh, it was. She bought the 2nd Aveo after asking me what she should do. I really liked her, but I can't have a woman that is more inclined to listen to a salesman than her rational boyfriend. I was a dummy and had to break up with her 3 times instead of my 1 and done rule.
