The logic I don't understand is people spending $$$ to get better gas mileage.
Think how much gas you can buy for the money you're getting ready to spend. Now if just looking for an excuse to buy a car...then go for it.
I've seen people do some crazy things to save a little at the gas pump. Guess if it makes them feel better then that is all that matters.

Well, we always buy a new vehicle every 3-5 years (i've had my truck for 4 years) we don't live in the city and don't need to drive a car into the ground due to the cost of living. Our Mortgage is only $490 a month, and our house is a very nice house in a good neighborhood. We don't do anything out here because, well, there is nothing to do but go get drunk, and I don't drink. So we end up leaving town a lot, and it takes 1 hour 15 minutes to get to Roswell, and 2 hours 15 minutes to el paso, and 2 hours 30 minutes to Lubbock. We spend a lot of time in our vehicles when we leave town, so we want it to be as nice as possible. So it's not all about saving MPG costs. Also, I've always wanted a Bimmer.
