Wow, the first three are SUV's.

My 2000 Plymouth Neon is still running like a top at 147,000 miles. I drive about 40 miles each way to work daily, do between 80 and 85 (lead foot and good cop karma) and still manage about 30 mpg.

It is fast and efficient - The car version of GTD.

Well, not that I need...

Well, not that I need to justify my choice for my dream truck, but to be fair I only drive 6,000 miles/year. So even at 13MPG City/17HWY it all averages out. Plus my wife's commuter car is a '98 Accord EX 4cyl. getting 19/28MPG. It should also be noted that in Phoenix, AZ in the Summer where it is 105-115 degrees the AC is running every moment the car is turned on.

Oh, and my truck hasn't been washed in 1.5 years, has no dead cows in the interior, and sure as shootin' no DVD player or anything of that sort. Golly, I'm so manly...

What was I saying about not feeling that I needed to justify my gas guzzling?

Most of the time, a bicycle :D

"My" car is a Renault Kangoo, 1.8 diesel, chosen for its carrying capacity (camping trips, band and PA, gardening supplies). It's also remarkably comfortable to drive.

"Her" car is a Peugeot 206, 1.4 diesel 'Urban', chosen as it's just about the cheapest diesel on the market, and the main dealer is on her way to work. Much more fun to drive than I expected.

Neither is an SUV, although the more recent Kangoos are trying to pretend.

2003 Camry, 4-cylinder, silver

I remember a thread like this on an Apple-oriented forum, and there were a lot of Hondas, VWs, and Toyotas.

Commuter Rail, Subway, and occationally the City Bus. And my own two feet.

I get a lot of reading done, and I get to laugh at all the people digging themselves out of snowbanks, complaining about the price of parking/gas/tolls, and the stress of driving in city traffic. (Unless they really do have no choice-- which is relatively rare in this area, but common in other parts of the US)

(Well, I'm not immune to the price of gas: it's one of the reasons for the proposed fare hike next year...)

1998 Subaru legacy wagon, hand-me-down. 151,000 mi. 32 mpg. But I live in a small town and only ever drive it to the grocery store. I wouldn't even have but my step-mom offered it to me for the trade-in value (woohoo). Also, it's silver so I don't ever have to wash it and it never looks all that dirty :D
