(Op updated with mileage information)

OK, maybe that's an exaggeration but hear me out.

On my last refill I had owned Olivia for 83 days and 4,171 miles. During that time, over my previous daily driver, I have:

Saved 106 gallons of gas, or 1.28 gallons per day
Saved $308.84, or $3.71 per day in fuel costs (adjusted for the difference between Premium and Regular fuel)
Reduced emissions from 2.37 metric tons of CO2 to 1.42 metric tons (based on calculations from carbonfootprint.com using a generic 1.4-20 litre engine for the FR-S)

Who knew that saving the planet could be so much fun!

Obviously your results may, and probably do, vary unless you too were driving a 2000 Chevy Astro before.
