My friends were initially a little dissapointed as they were expecting something like 35, which is unrealistic at this point in something that size. Overall, they really love the thing. The extra 6 mpg at $4 a gallon will eat up the extra cost of the hybrid pretty quick these days I would think.

I am fishing locally more this year, but thats more about babies than gas as my mazda gets around 32 on the highway so it isn't cost prohibitive yet.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
