I don't see where that's so impressive. Every Corvette I've owned has gotten 26-30mpg on the highway and a minimum of 15 in the city. (and that was supercharged with a heavy foot) If I drove it normal, I could easily pull 17-18 in the city.

Nonetheless, the mini is the way to go.

Grand Cherokee v8 of course for a while but then the third gen Eclipse came out so I wanted something different for a while. Well along came the Infiniti FX35, Great SUV but then gas went crazy. Same dealership carried MINIs and then I really got something DIFFERENT, MCS40 still have it but It's the SO's now and I've got my PW/B (#1by the way) and the only thing I want different now is a loaded 06 JCW. I'm done with different now. I'm a MINI guy!!!

Well, its 2 years later, I'm 2 years older and I got my 06 JCW in August of 06. When I'm in the Workster, I feel 2 years younger.
