Overheard on the news tonight:

“High gasoline prices are causing people to re-evaluate their driving habits.”

IT’S ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

Hell, that’s what we did. Traded in my `95 volvo for a shiny new VW Golf with their awesome TDI engine. Going from 26 mpg to 45 mpg (and climbing) sure is nice. Yeah, we had to readjust our monthly budget, but what if fuel hits $4/gallon? $6/gallon?

I should be around 50 mpg this summer.

We’re also working on shedding a car. Anybody what wants to buy a 2005 Scion xB in excellent shape with a manual transmission, transferrable warranty and only 16k miles, let us know: blue scion xb at that google mail site, y’know, gmail no spam dot no spam dot com.
