Ways to save gas

What about buying a more fuel efficient car? I went from a Jeep Cherokee to a Subaru WRX. About the same amount of fun, in a different way, but better mileage.

If I were just plain made of money, I'd buy a VW turbodiesel, prolly a Jetta. But that would be 3 cars including the Jeep and the Subaru, which is a bit beyond me unless I want to stay home all the time for lack of money to gas 'em up - hey, that'd save gas, but it'd be a sucky lifestyle.

Staying at home all the time, except for slave-duties to go to work and make the economy better is what the "greens" are aiming at getting us all into. I'll resist that however I can, but would buy some of these fuel efficient cars if I could still manage to own the fun cars too...

BTW, concerning your website, doing 50 - 60 mph on most interstates is asking to get run over by some truck. Yeah, you'll get better gas mileage, for a little while, but your destination is likely to change to the hospital if you become a mobile roadblock.
