    6.64?! Man, we never saw it that high, that's for sure! At the peak here in the piedmont I don't *think* it crossed the $4 mark, but if it didn't, it wasn't but maybe $.15 over and only for a short period of time.

    $2.60?? Here it's usually floating around $4 / gallon.\
    Snow mode which makes sure the tires don't spin on wet/snow covered roads.
    Pfffttt that's no fun :p

    I meant 2.64....

    If gas got to 6.60 - Id be driving a Yaris...

    I spun my tires for the first time today...

    Basically I was sitting at a redlight and an ambulance was behind me and then his lgihts turned on and he had to go...light was still red...

    I kept trying to move, but I had to drive onto the median and into the other road actually (opposing traffic) just to make a path... to get back over I got stuck in the flowers/grass and spun a tire! ;) HA!

    I havnt even spun them in the rain. I wont drive my truck in the snow...thats suicide.

    Now that we're bragging about gas-mileage....:D

    Dad's Jetta TDI 5spd get's about 48mpg. That's definitely better than the Jeep, Town & Country, or Suburban get!!

    Actually my findings are a tadd better than the EPA.
    I'm glad I figured out the proper amount as our first findings where you converted based on what I gave you would have been horrible I might as well be driving an 18 wheeler.

    Go figure EH ! about the snow mode. I'm not sure if vehicles in Europe come with this option.

    Currently I filled up the tank @ .88c a ltr

    I know the gas mileage is not as good as the Matrix, to be expected considering it's a 2.5 ltr vs a 1.8 and so on. But I am glad that we are not getting the 18mpg.

    Fireman, been driving today and it was second nature to look over to the centre. I think I'm getting the hang of it and dare I say I might actually prefer it ?

    It's more visible at all times, the only down side is I can't speed and tell my wife I'm not as she has full view of it as well.
    Another feature I am enjoying and think should be on every car is the side mounted turning signals. Usually found on Mazda, Mitsubishi and the Yaris and Prius. It comes in handy when on the HWY and want to change lanes cause not everyone has a view of your A$$ or nose (of the car).

    As nice as the carbon fibre removable trunk is, our bags slip and slide everywhere, by the time groceries are done our salad has been tossed for us. Will need to go out and buy an anti skid type carpet/liner.

    Well to tell you a story...

    My brother in-law will not go for another ride with me in my wifes Acura TL-S since I think he pissed his pants during a HP demonstration. He didn't tell me but told everyone about me, and he couldn't even see the Speedometer, wonder how large the fear / story would've been if he know how fast I pushed it.

    So a car with the SpeedO in Front -N- Center may kill my interest in any car.

    Well, I just filled up this evening at $2.69/gallon, I believe. I got 15.9mpg on the last tank (in my Cherokee).
