[QUOTE="dan7532, post: 570438, member: 556629"] flakko- Yes, smaller gas tanks = lower miles per gallon. phrozen5100- from what I've read in tons of car magazines, dodges have never been known for good fuel mileage. supa_c: "Hybrids rule !" Oh blow me. I saw the j/k but dang, those things take like 13 seconds to get to 60. Holy $hit! If I had a hybrid, I would drive it off a cliff, but the short run-up would probably mean a 5mph plummit to a dinged-up bumper. The funny thing is, every time I see a hybrid on the highway, it's in the fast lane doing 85. Yeah, that's a real good way to push 50mpg. NOT. That tiny 3- or 4-banger is probably sh*tting itself to a hernia trying to overcome all that wind resistance, even if the body is shaped to be more aerodynamic than normal cars. "I walk to school," yeah you try walking 15 miles at 7 in the morning when it's freezing and dark. That's right, you'd have to start at about 3 in the morning, so it'd be even better conditions. And to make it easier, every time I fill up (at least when I pay for it), I just think about how much fun it is to drive my car and remember that fun ain't free.
