But don’t get me wrong.. I would deem the performance very good for the mpg it gets.

[Dixie Yooper]

I am presently driving an 06 Corolla S that cost $19,000 (I had to get leather seats)and average 37 mpg with mixed driving. The difference of over $5,000 can buy allot of gas for my Corolla, but I still have a bad case of mpg envy. Anything that keeps me out of the gas stations and sending more money to the Arabs has my attention. I look forward to the day I can own an electric car that’s practical. As far as the environmental aspect of it... As long as no one is urinating in my drinking water, I’m not very environmental.
