so i was poking around on here:

and i i was wow, i spent 2200 on gas last year?
before maintenance, car payments and insurance.
it's 184 dollars a month for the average driver.
that's more than my INS. (please don't start that one, INS payment crap)
but i traded a 5spd Tdi jetta for this.
and now i have permagrin.

I probably spent close to $3000 on gas last year. That isn't because of the Turbo either. I get 25-27 miles per gallon. I just have to drive a lot to get to/from work. I also like to drive and pick up car parts

In the past 12 months, I believe I've only spent about $400 in gas. In 2005, however, I spent quite a bit more, when I was driving on a daily basis.

for two years i've wondered how you NE .:R's get such great gas milage.
i hsould know better living in MA?NH for 18 years.
LOW speed limits.
the fastest road in NH is 65mph.
FL and TX, you basically have to be going over 80 to get pulled over.
that's where i've spent my last 3 years.
