How 'portly' are you? I don't know if I can fit in the thing.

This would be my concern as well. Some small cars like my sisters Subaru Forester I could never drive as they appear to be intended only for the average woman which as Bronko can attest, I am not.

90 pct of the sub-compacts are that way. It looks like a clown car when I try to get in and out. I have to rent a car on Monday, it will be interesting to see how small a mid-size is when I try it on!!

Mid size isn't bad that's like a lumina, or a taurus size. I'd drive those. I won't drive them little crapcans though I think they're death traps.

$4.29 a gallon for diesel right off exit 98 of GSP. Are they kidding me?????

I've heard $5 and $6 a gallon by summer time. If someone told me this last year I would have never believed it!!!

Glad I've got my Jetta TDI for long trips and around town when I don't need the Dodge. Got a spreadsheet and been tracking mileage since new. Real time average over 58k miles is 43.1 mpg. I thought this was good but with diesel hovering around $1 a gallon more then regular gas not so sure now.

Dodge sits parked unless I'm towing or absolutely need to fire it up. Paid $53 to fill up the Jetta yesterday. That is what I paid to fill my Dodge back in 04 when I bought it!!!

Another thing...why is home heating oil near the same price of diesel???? There should be no road tax for home heating oil so WTF???
