I thought of this as I got passed by a Metro today. Rusty and belching black smoke. We were probably getting about the same mpgs. I was getting close to 40 on that piece of road. Average 34.0 by the time I pulled in the driveway.

you use "I'm getting more mpg's this way" as an excuse for driving the goofy looking pile of #@%& around.
Yes I have to explain to people that Im not trying to be a ricer or look like Nascar.
