I bought a Civic (an HX which was the 'innovation of fuel economy' at the time). Rising gas prices were my concern... this was in 1998.
Ex had a Prelude, same year. He LOVED it but gas was a little too steep (drives a lot in his job), so he bought a new Civic this year and sold me the Prelude (he wanted to 'keep it in the family').
My old girl (HX) was on the downslide because her innovative transmission was dying and since that innovation was traded for another, well, not feasible for a repair.
Anyhow, since I don't drive much, I took the Prelude. Love the car, but sheesh... big gas tank... same once-a-month fill, but twice as much with the rise in gas, bigger tank, and not as good mileage.
I seriously don't know how people who drive to work have SUVs, make the payments, and pay for gas.
I guess we can complain about what MTism has degenerated to pay-wise, but one thing constant for a lot of us is our commute is cheap.
PS Hondas rock!!!! ;-)
