Question

[freedivernd]

I guess... I just traded off the Ford Explorer (the last ford I'll ever buy by the way) and bought an '07 Honda Fit which is supposed to be super on fuel, it should, it has a rubber band motor,.. it's been sold across the ocean under the name Honda Jazz.. looks good (well, not really it's kinda ugly... and speaking of ugly I really wanted a Scion XB, just the dealer wasn't as willing to work with me on the explorer).  Don't have it yet... bought it sight unseen as the dealers are just getting them in now, should be here any day... maybe today.
other gas saving plans.. I've already slowed the explorer down to 70mph, that hurts but helps save $$, and try to combine errands to cut down on trips to fargo, and we're thinking about selling the speed boat as we didn't use it much the last 2 years.  My wife wants to keep it, but I'm thinking sell so we can use the money for gas in the Fit to travel to dive destinations...can't tow it with the Fit anyway...
These fuel prices stink, we've gotten so used to cheap fuel it's tough to pull up to the pumps on empty and put $50 worth of fuel in.  A round trip to the cities this past weekend cost me almost $125 with the explorer and with 2 daughters there and one in kansas I hope to making some trips to visit them but geez,  I can almost fly for that cost.  The honda should make it easier to plan trips I hope.
o.k... I'm done whining... >
