OK I finally sat down and figured out my overall milage for 2004. Got the car in July/04 and saved all my gas receipts, so here it is..... Total Cost for gas $310.00..... 154 gallons........ 6263 miles......... 40.60 MPG....... 5 cents a mile. Not to shabby I guess considering I don't baby the car too much. BTW I live in Las Vegas and even though the winters are not to cold I have noticed a drop in MPG's during the winter months. I think it might take some time to recoup the extra dollars for the price of the car but what the heck it's a start. Hope you all have done as well as me or better. Good Luck......
