Lol if your refering to me as a she I assure you I very much a guy. And my del sol gets 35 city 42 highway and yes I check from full tank to empty. So
I think that they thought you inherited the Del Sol because your Mom got a new Prius, and then they inferred that if your mom had replaced her Hummer with a Prius, you would have inherited the Hummer, but who knows, I might be smoking something and don't know it, because the whole thread has me confused. You came across as happy about getting the Del Sol instead of the Prius, so I can only assume this must be a temporary trade?
Well, since you'll be going used you could get a Prius or Insight. All depends on the kind of driving you'll be doing then.
My other car? Can take me out of a 5-spd, but never take the manual out of me. Sunday driver, 35 mpg . . . . 1990 Miata zum-zum
