I forgot to mention this...(about my car)
So in driving my car this past weekend, I filled it up and actually figured out the actual miles per gallon that I have gotten. It was just over 30 MPG, which, considering, the rated MPG was 24-29, is not bad at all.
If I feel up to it, I could figure out things like my daily cost of driving (avg), as far as gas goes, or my avg mpg over the life of the car. I do have all the data for every fillup since I bought it (Odometer reading, gallons put in, gas cost).
That could prove interesting, but I'm guessing my busy and lazy self won't get around to it.
I'm still debating on if we're gonna take Shannon's or my car this weekend to Northeastern Iowa. My car is a lot more comfortable and has all the gadgets I like (easy to hookup my ipod, multiple power ports for devices, etc), but we are driving on gravel or at least may be driving on gravel and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've done that in my car. I'm still leaning towards my car, cause it is more roomy...at least for the driver and the passenger (back seats, not so much).
