I will not hammer you because in my case it IS about saving $$$.

I bought a 3 cyl Geo and was getting 50-57 mpg hiway compared to the SRT4 Neon that I was using for longer trips. Effectively the Geo gets double the mpg that the SRT4 gets, but in order to save money I must drive it at least enough to spend $20 per month in gas. That figure is how much the insurance coverage cost is. As of a few weeks ago I parked it and took the insurance off. When warmer weather comes and more people start buying Mustang rims from me I will reinstate the insurance as I start to deliver the rims with this car. No deliveries have been made since October....darn it.
