Anybody thinking about selling to cut back on fuel comsumption??

[jamesqf]

Hey, I've already got an Insight. Means I can't even think about selling until they start selling the Aptera outside California :-)

I plan on driving my car until a cylinder kills a passing bird or the transmission falls out; whichever comes first.

There's nothing in the market that will do better than what I've had for over 20 years.The newer cars do have less emissions in a given context,however Carbon Dioxide is something I give great priority to,and I'm doing pretty good on that one.I moved away from the "big-city" in 1983 to get away from gridlock,so the benefits of a hybrid don't impact me a much as urban dwellers.I'm afraid I'll be building my own vehicles from here on out,and home PV- charged electric is where I'll end up.

Hello -

I feel like a post-modern Corvair owner when it comes to my Saturn S-Series. I'm happy with the "Devil I Know", so I voted that I already have one.

I've got a SC1 coupe. I think it's a great car. Bought new for my (now adult) kids in 97, after 130,000 miles has come back to me.

If you haven't gone there already, you gotta go to saturnfans.com . They have certified Saturn mechanic members that can keep your SC1 running forever. There's a fellow named richpin06 that has made over 60 YouTube videos of Saturn repairs. And cheapybob was the one that gave me MPG fever.

The 1997 SC2 was my first Saturn. I bought it *because* it got 27/37 MPG in old EPA MPG ratings and had sporty looks. I remember thinking about getting the SC1 at 28/40 MPG, but I thought that giving up 1 MPG City was ok (didn't commute back then).

I'm like Doofus, I keep them until the frequency+costs of repair start to piss me off. My next new (or ALMOST new) vehicle will be fuel efficient. I expect to buy something in 2010 or 2011 and I'm excited by the possibilites of my choices.
