RE: 17 to 35 mpg 100% improvement

So I finally got my 1997 Geo Prizm on the road today and doubled my MPG instantly over my Jeep Cherokee. Total cost with tags and oils is just $1,100 bucks! I could not be happier. Finally I can see the light not that the nightmare knows as Jeep Grand Chrokee Laredo is coming to an end.

I couldn't be happier.

Absorbed? Don't you mean absolved? Mech, the Eco pope has spoken. 10 Geo Metros and 5 Civic VX...... Still on the hunt for more MPGs though. Next target is a Honda Insight which will double that number.

If that happens I will have enough spare cash to save for my dream cabin in the woods....

You would save more money with a metro than you would with an insight. Can you stomach the inevitable 2,000$ battery replacement?

My 95 was the best car I ever owned. Will check out the aero for Corollas.
