Glad I have this civic

What happened in the last 3 months, when I left gas here in VA Beach was 2.00 a gallon, now I am back and its 2.77. This car is paying for itself.

You're not kidding, the Liberty I was driving before my Civic averaged 19.5mpg. Figuring I drive about 25K a year, my Civic is saving me some serious cash.

Actually it's not.......do the friggin conversion

1 US gallon = 3.78L

$1.042 x 3.78L/gal = $3.93CDN per gallon

Conversion rate = $0.883USD per $1 CDN

Total cost per US gallon = $3.93 x 0.883

= $3.48USD/gallon

Gained a LOT more than 'some' respect for just getting rid of the Yaris
