30 mpg seems great, but you factor in that extra 20 cents per gallon and it's not as great. I have a turbocharged car so I'm used to the premium pricing but it does kind of suck.

I like the platform of the FR-S, but a FR-ST would really be amazing.

The other thing I like about my protege is that it is unique. It was only made for 1 year and you don't see too many of them on the road. I may just fix it up and make it an FRS slayer
What other car gets you 30+ mpg combined and gets you to 60 in 6.5? Not trying to be a troll, I seriously wanna know.
