1. When did you last compute the average number of miles to the gallon your car gets?

Probably a couple of months ago now.

2. Do you use regular, midrange or premium octane fuel?

Regular. Always. Never had a problem.

3. If you had to give up one or the other because of a government-mandated fuel-saving law, would you prefer to go without your car’s air conditioning or automatic transmission?

Oh, I'd give up the tranny, no problem. In fact, I already have. ;-)

4. Take the quiz: What muscle car are you?

What kind of Muscle Car are You? (pics)

Oooo-kay.

5. Of the cars you have driven and/or owned, which had the worst gas mileage? Did that have any impact on your decision to get rid of it or make plans to get rid of it?

I hated the minivan, partly for the mileage factor. I just hated driving it in general terms, though, so this was just a minor issue when it came right now to it.

6. On a scale of 1 to 10, with ten representing the most, how much will “environmental friendliness” have on your decision to buy your next vehicle?

We'll be looking at that as one of many factors. Probably a 7 or so.
