I wouldn't trade my '04 Saturn Ion in for anything right now.   Averaging 35 MPG on the highway, I figure I am doing a lot better than some other driver's out there on the road.  But, regardless of my MPG's I still have to cringe at my bill with $4.15 gasoline.  When I do drive, I use all the tricks and hints in the book to make every drop of fuel count.

On my days off from work, I don't drive my car unless it is absolutely necessary. In fact, for my in and around town commuting I use a bicycle and a back-pack.  Which, during the Florida summer can be a sweaty endeavor.  But, sweat is free and doesn't cost 4 bucks a gallon. 

I would love to see an automobile manufacturer roll-out the "model t" for $150 barrel oil.  If anyone would debut that car today, I would be in line for it yesterday.
