It gets perfectly fine fuel economy considering I only drive about 16 miles a day.

Also, people who go out and spend 25-35k on a new car that gets 40-50mpg....add up that insurance and monthly payment vs. my 0 payment and almost 0 insurance. I think I'm doing good driving my car for about $200 a month between fuel, repairs, and insurance.
