It was $3.29 when I filled up today. One year ago I could fill the gas tank in my 1997 Toyota Tacoma for $25 now it costed me $43(.) That TDI Jetta that I really really want just looks more and more appealing to me everytime I fill up.

Chairlift n. A transportation system found at most ski areas in which a series of chairs suspended from a cable rapidly conveys anywhere from one to eight skiers from the front of one line to the back of another.

Holy crap, your new truck only makes 12 mpg Bill? That's worse than my Tahoe which makes 18 mpg.
I would suggest going out and buying some performance upgrades like a better air filter and spark plugs. Also, keep your tires fully inflated because if you don't, there's more friction with the road which will cause your car to use up more gas.

Its has an onboard computer that measures my tire pressure (even the spare) and will notify me when one gets out of range. :)

Most people I know who have smart cars only drive them in the summer. They are not really a winter car. They are fine for running around congested Euroupean cities as a grocery getter but not much else. Just my 2 cents.

Weird. The restrictions and classifications are nationally set, and states are bound by the national regulations. What Colorado law states you cannot drive out of the state? I would like to see that one. No laws in Washington put limits on the national regulations.
