each other crazy

[zqt3344 21]

Drive! Who can afford it, we take the bus or train now and are happy

each other crazy

[Amby 490]

I have a 2003 Eclipse Spyder GT

I have no idea what the mileage is or how much I spend on gas each week

I drive to school 4 days a week and it's 16 miles each way. I fill up my tank about once a week but sometimes less. I don't drive that car everyday though!

I also have a 2004 Neon that I got so I would use less gas but I really should drive it more.

Neil drives chevrolegs

He has a moped thingy that gets about a million miles to the 2 gallon tank but he rarely uses it.

I plan to get a new car next month. Probably something that really guzzles the gas because I V8 + rwd

eta: I hate having a convertible. People always want me to put the top down and I hate it! I can't wait for people to stop asking me to put the top down

[ready4ONE 5,400]

1998 Dodge Caravan SE, paid for, semi-fuel efficient for size of vehicle, 30 mile commute round trip. No plans to immediately purchase a more fuel efficient vehicle, although when my wife gets her license we will need a second vehicle, and it will not be a gas guzzling SUV.

[athena_ny 1]

I drive an 04 Hyundai Elantra, I drive about 20 miles to work and back, and probably spend 30 dollars a week on gas (lot of stop and go traffic). He has a Nissan Altima, 05, drives about 5 miles round trip and spends about 30 dollars a week as well (he does a lot of stuff after work). We will not be buying something more fuel efficient, but when we move back to New York traffic is less stop and go and eventually want to live where there is better public transport.

maybe they are not talking about the top on the car

nah if they wanted me to take my top down all they'd have to do is ask

One car family

2006 Toyota Solara

commute 1.1 miles one way to work.

the tank is filled every 3 weeks or so.

[Lou Lou 1]

We're a one car family. The 8 year old car car (I have no clue what it is so don't ask. It's dark red, that ugly red that you see everywhere) gets 38mpg and we have no reason to buy anything that's gonna get better than that. No, we don't need a 4wd even though we live in VT so people who want to make that excuse to own a gas guzzler are pretty lame. I walk, bike or ski everywhere.
