Oh that's cute... I was toying with the idea of a personalized plate for my Insight (which is currently getting 72 mpg). I know they won't approve it. And I probably wouldn't dare drive around with something like that on my car. But it was still entertaining.

You have an Insight? I wanted one of those but I couldn't find any MT ones, let alone, any one that's available to buy without special order. Sigh, I guess I had to settle for an s2000

i get 26.5 mpg... i love vtec.
but seriously... when i have to commute 90 miles a day for 4 days a week just to go to school and earn $0... i think $3.21/gallon is too much.
i have to get a part time job just to pay for my gas to get to school... even then i'm still at a deficit of like 60 bucks a week -_-'

minako- i'm jealous of your hybrid... i want one... but the insight is just too small for me... already have the ap2 for "small car," i dont want anything to do with a civic, and the accords are expensive as hell and they dont have that carpool lane sticker thing... btw do you have one of those?

itS2Krazy- it seems to be working fine right now..

Lice Locket - Yup, got an Insight for my daily commuter. The Accord was going to fail smog and my bf has the Civic if there is ever a need for us to haul around anything big. I was so happy to get it in MT, as well. I'm in looooove. I found a used 2001 with less than 64,000 miles on it. Runs great and getting 72+ mpg.

shotiable - Yes! I do have the HOV lane stickers. They have helped me out more than once during really bad traffic times. Have you checked out the Prius? Since it's a four-door sedan, it can hold more people. It's also a bit pricier, but you get a lot of cool stuff if you're into luxury (i.e. HIDs, Bluetooth, etc.)
