I'd absolutely LOVE an insight, but if I am to get another car has to be a 4 door.

The other option I'm semi-considering is getting a 95 or older (no emissions testing pre OBD2 by me) Tercel and swapping a diesel into it. Gathering info and sources for parts atm. That car would be an easy 60+ mpg.

Keep in mind that the 95 is OBD2 compliant. I've got an UG plugged into mine.
