    Haha no it's not the most fun car but the gas mileage helped justify a little. Spent $54 on gas to get there and the same getting back. My truck gets 230 miles per tank and it costs about $52 to fill up. We would of had to fill up my truck 4 times to get there and 4 times to get back. Even after the $230 car rental we still saved $ by renting a car. I didn't think it was possible but. Either way I still love my truck and probably wouldn't buy a Prius, unless the wife wanted one ;)

    I hear you, I got 42 MPG with the CRZ and it has a 6 speed manual. Definitely not as good as the prius but I can only rent Hondas for cheap because I work for them.

    plasti dipped wheel caps,

    well I don't even have a locking rear differential, so needless to say, I don't really need a mud/AT tire. I was thinking, the best street tire with fuel efficiency, but also with SOME light off-road use. something like the bfg rugged trail/ terrains, or the goodyear assurance fuel max tires . . .
