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.

I have 3 cars.. My daily driver is an 03 crown vic ‘sport package’ if you can believe such a thing exists.. but it does.. My weekend car is 07 infinity g35. It actually get’s right at 20 in mixed mode driving.. And, the beast I need to sell, an 89 BMW 750il.. It has a 5 liter 12 cylinder.. it does about 11 mpg, but 18 on the highway..

I drive very little.. a tank of gas lasts about a month, sometimes longer.. in any of my cars (I don’t think I’ve put gas in the bimmer in 3 months).. Because I drive so little, I don’t worry about mileage all that much..
