thanks for the lead Neil.  I am hoping my refund comes in tommorow because I have a lead on a Grand Am.  I cant wait to get like 20mpg lol.

I keep looking at the same math - 25mpg x 18000 miles per year vs 13.4mpg x 18000 milers per year - big difference at $4.00/gal.  This gas price "anomoly" can't last forever.  In a year I can recoup the cost of a cheap car, and still keep my Jeep.

I figure what better time than now, with my Jeep now being a 3 cylinder, to buy a car... Baker is just taking too long with my refund, looks like I pry wont get it till Monday.

Picked a car up Saturday.  1996 Pontiac Grand Am.  Runs perfect, although it needs shocks in the future.  Got a great deal on it too.  I would defently recomend checking out Scott's Motors (I think thats the name) on Dort (Just North of Bristol, has a huge Penske sign) if anyone is in need of a used car...
