I guess the gas price has something to do with lower gas mileage. I wonder what cost it? Maybe it is the evil SUV?

And cars (or trucks or SUVs) are not evil. Inanimate objects cannot be either good not evil -- unless you are Stephen King.

From empty to full on the S - about 450NOK - 72USD at todays rates. Filled my wife's car the other day - a US Accord V-6 - took some 105 USD to get the thing loaded up.
Sorry guys, but I have little or no sympathy for your fuel prices. Having said that -as was mentioned earlier in this post - I believe we do drive on average less than what you do - on our two cars combined we get an annual mileage of about 30000km or some 20k miles. Our monthly fuel bill is somewhere in the vicinity of 400USD - which I think is not too bad considering the price of everything else. A liter of gas is around 1,70USD and a liter of milk (close to a quart) is about the same. A liter of Coke is around a buck.
Of course, one could argue that changing a Corvette for an S2000 is a smart move fuel economy wise...... as well as lots of other reasons. Noting of course that in my garage there's a 1957 Cadillac getting around 10-12mpg
