I want one even though they are ugly but if it helps conserve and don't pollute as much, i'd get it.
That is of course, if i had the money.

I bought gas this morning for $1.91. We saw it over the weekend for $1.89, and on my way home from the ever-dreaded mall, I saw Hess for $1.87.
That's all well and good if you are okay with putting Regular in your vehicle.

depending on how old your car is, and how well you've maintained it, regular should be more than adequate.
Oh, and I love my New Toyota SUV - it's not bad on gas at all, either.

Mine is a 2001 and I've used regular in the past and wasn't happy with the performance.

Ahhh, I love the $1.82 gas!
Join AAA and apply for their Visa Gas card. Any pay at the pump station where you use the card prior to pumping the gas, you save 5% on every gallon. Even when it topped 2 bucks here, I was still paying a dime less than everyone else. That doesn't sound like much, but in the past 3 years I've saved a shitload of money.

i said the exact same thing to a friend this past weekend. her reply was who cares, she'd still want an suv. her reason why was that she likes "being up high" while driving.
that to me is an unbelievably moronic reason to choose a vehicle.

Some wimmins think that "being up high" igives them the right of way in any situation. I've been in a fucking patrol car, the first to arrive at a 4 way stop sign intersection. 2 different SUV's piloted by broads arrive 5-10 seconds later, and BOTH take off expecting the world to yield for them.
They also think bigger vehicles means that anything on the road will have to let them in while merging, or turning onto roads from parking lots. I average 5-12 SUVs a week that get T-Boned coming out of WaWa parking lots, and you'd be shocked to hear how many tell me, "His car was smaller, I thought he'd stop".
I just bought my first truck, a Ram 1500. I'm 6'6" 255lbs, so most passanger cars just dont cut it. My previous was a 96 Impala SS, and despite being a really nice car, I simply couldn't take climbing out of, or free-falling into a low car.

I get $2.49......
Well, I guess that's the price you pay to live in a neighborhood without any spics.
and my next car is a Honda Civic Hy unless they make the Element a High-bee.

SUV's are fucking monstrosities, they block up the lanes of traffic and make it impossible to see traffic conditions when one of those heaps of shit are in front of you! Not to mention, at night those super headlights shine right in your rearview mirror blinding you when they are behind you. What is the need for 4 wheel drive on flat fucking land????? It's doesn't even snow that much here in the tri-state area. I hate all you SUV driving motherfuckers! Go move to Colorado with those fucking heaps of garbage and get the fuck off my LI highways.
Ahh, I feel much better now...
