    Hwy -- we got 22 to almost 25 on our trip to the Rockies, usually using AC. I know people who claim to get better than that.

    In town, I'm only getting 18-20 this summer, heavy duty AC time in Dallas. In winter, it's better. Again, I know a lot of people who claim to get better mileage.

    Here's a great site to lurk or post and ask questions if you want more info:

    I love that rack.

    I honestly never keep track of my MPG. I know it's not great compared to a hybrid or a smaller car, because Elements are rather tall and boxy.

    Guess what I just got!!!

    (Hint: big, boxy, and SHINY SILVER!) We found a 2006 that had been turned in with low mileage and went over today to the dealer with a price in mind. We got very close to that price and are happy with the outcome! I have a nearly new car!

    I get to pick up on Wednesday (after getting required insurance, reg, etc taken care of)! It will be a busy start to the week!

    Thanks to all who gave their input here. I'd made up my mind months ago but was just waiting 'til the stars lined up for it to be the right time. Guess that was today!

    I am sure I will have more questions for you all as I get acquainted with the new baby!

    Driving it is more fun than a food fight!
