I'm not bitter, but I'm not jumping for joy either. Not to get on too big a
rant I think we're being manipulated and ripped off on a number of levels.
And for once let it go with that because all we can really do, short term
anyway, is minimize the effects on our personal situations.
That aside, being able to get 30 mpg or better in a roadster is a good
thing. Did any of us ever think we'd be looking at our toys as "economy"
cars?
FWIW,
