(Is that Sarah Jane hiding from a Cylon? Awesome!)
but I can't imagine you'd have to get out and push
Heh. See, our old Escort? You did. Hence why we've had six-cylinders since then.
It looks like the Civic gets on average about five miles more to the gallon than an Accord of the same year. The car I share with my parents currently gets about 17, so anything above 25 average, which both are, I consider an improvement. ;) Filling up the tank only once a month would be awesome. It's certainly something to consider, given that I have no idea where I'll end up after these two years are done.
What about the OMG SUVS ARE GOING TO CRUSH ME ON THE INTERSTATE!!! factor? This is a big concern with my parents. I haven't been in a car smaller than Accord-sized since I was about nine, so I really have no frame of reference; however, my lizard brain is saying "the bigger the better."
