I dumped $64.00 in my wifes Dakota today. This is to drive just over 300 miles. We only need to fill the truck up every other week, but holy crap was that a big hit. The same $64.00 would take me about 950 miles.

I've had a couple of questions at the pumps when filling my civic. My favorite was "man you got ripped off". I asked the guy what he meant, and he went on to tell me how he read an article that these hybrids are only good for about 30 miles to the gallon. I told him I get in the mid 40's all the time and don't really drive for mileage. He just shook his head and laughed more. I'm sure he still has a funny spot filling his Nissan Xterra.
