My hubby just worked it out because apparently our gallons are different to yours and our petrol is also priced by the litre. We pay the equivelant of $5.96 a US gallon

It was 1.97 here yesterday. I got lucky though...I pulled up to pump gas, and the guy came out and said they were out of regular and med. grade, so I could have premium for the price of unleaded Don't know how much of a difference it will make...since I NEVER get premium! I thought it was pretty cool, though. Still cost $32 to fill up though.

I've been driving SUVs for 15 years now. I LOVE to travel, so gas prices are now becoming a major issue for me. I feel it's time to downsize(don't want to, though ).
I repeat. Any opinions?

Sorry, I don't know. I guess if someone knew, they would've said. Why don't you just google comparative gas mileages, or look at the specs in a Kelly Blue Book or something?

If you get a compact Honda or Toyota you cannot go wrong. I have a subcompact Toyota and the gas mileage was amazing when it was newer and now it is still excellent. 52 mpg highway is what I believe was the claim and I think that it was close to reality. When I first got it it was $10 - $12 to fill it! Man, where does the time go? Where does my money go? (check shopping thread)

Do a search on google for Honda gas mileage. Then another for Toyota gas mileage and see what you get.

I'm so confused. Why doesn't this "war for oil" lower gas prices.

Honda is the best, IMO. Nothing beats them, especially for the price.

Thanks. I was hoping maybe someone had owned both, and could tell me their real preference(maybe there's not a big difference). My aunt has a 95 Tercel (with about 60k miles!) that she was wanting to trade in. As SOON as I told her I'd give her at least what the lot would give her, her daughter instantly wanted it as a second vehicle. She had no interest in it before I spoke. She can't even afford two vehicles! But, at least she kept me from getting it. Oddly, we're as close as two cousins can be....

I'd KILL for 52 mpg!!!! A trip to Nashville in my Blazer takes two 20 gal tanks roundtrip. Really about 35 gals, or $70. Lessee, at 52 mpg, it would take me about 10-12 gals, or $20-24! Yep, I GOTTA make a change.
