It just occurred to me that the Tesla logo looks like a stylized set of ovaries on some OB/GYN's business card....

I average 26-28 Definitely worth comparing overal fuel costs. SUVs seem to be the best selling things around right now. I borrowed my father's FJ cruiser not long ago; the fuel consumption and range made me chuckle. 60L tank and it'll blast through it in 400km or less, while suggesting premium fuel. Something that Terrible on gas needs at least 80L. My previous car was a Suzuki SX4 AWD. Averaged 24-28mpg and had less range. 300-400 on 40 liters. This car goes am easy 420km for me on 40L.

Bored isn't the right word, exactly, but yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Though I wouldn't use the word "rationalize". Before making decisions like this I create a "T" chart. The chart tells me it's time to sell.

I figure I'll never need plugs again, and since the only brake job it's had was at 142k miles (and there was still pad left) I'll probably never need brakes again either. And the plugs were replaced at 120k with iridium plugs, so I don't expect to replace those either. Meanwhile, I bought new shocks, but only put the rears on so far... |

I always thought it looked like a goat so squinted and noticed that the charging cable looks like a sperm penetrating an egg so you're on to something. |

I didn't mention the $$ octane boost additive or the three sets of tires shredded during auto-x and track days. At least I bought it right and didn't take too much of a bath when it sold. |

If you don't want increased (or ANY) carbon tax, then be more forceful with your government representatives about it.
