Come Monday, I'll be gripping the steering wheel tight
After 2 lonely years
Of high gas price fears
I'll have my new Prius to drive...

My apologies to Mr. Buffett.

I pick up my new Seaside Pearl Prius on Monday. I'm looking forward to it.

I just did the mileage on Mary Jean today because it was the last day of the month to get my supermarket gas discount and she only took 5 gallons so the math was easy.

12.8 MPG Woohoo! Beat that, Prius!!!1

HEADIN' UP TO SAN FRANCISCO
FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND SHOW,
I'VE GOT MY HUSH PUPPIES ON,
I GUESS I NEVER WAS MEANT FOR GLITTER ROCK AND ROLL.

AND, HONEY, I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT I'D BE MISSIN' YOU SO.

Chorus:
COME MONDAY, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
COME MONDAY, I'LL BE HOLDING YOU TIGHT.
I SPENT FOUR LONELY DAYS IN A BROWN L.A. HAZE,
AND I JUST WANT YOU BACK BY MY SIDE.

YES, IT'S BEEN QUITE A SUMMER,
RENT-A-CARS AND WESTBOUND TRAINS,
AND NOW YOU'RE OFF ON VACATION,
SOMETHING YOU TRIED TO EXPLAIN.

AND, DARLIN', IT'S I LOVE YOU SO;
THAT'S THE REASON I JUST LET YOU GO.

Chorus

I CAN'T HELP IT, HONEY. YOU'RE THAT MUCH A PART OF ME NOW.
REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN MONTANA WHEN WE SAID
THERE'D BE NO ROOM FOR DOUBT.

I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THE SCENERY,
I KNOW IT'S PRETTY UP THERE.
WE CAN GO HIKING ON TUESDAY;
WITH YOU, GIRL, I WOULD WALK ANYWHERE.
CALIFORNIA HAS WORN ME QUITE THIN,
I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

Chorus:

I SPENT FOUR LONELY DAYS IN A BROWN L.A. HAZE,
AND I JUST WANT YOU BACK BY MY SIDE.

Sorry about the CAPS. It was written that way when I copied it.

I am the proud driver of a 2000 Blazer. Yes, I know it should be a Dodge if her name is Mary Jean. Ha!

My mileage is practically all in town. Rarely more than 7 or 8 miles at a time, usually 3 or less. So that's a MPG killer, right there.

Plus, although 'some' people might claim that high altitude increases mileage, I believe it's the opposite. It just seems that way because when people go to lower altitudes they don't adjust their timing and they run rich.

Thanks for reminding me to get my supermarket gas discount. Our don't expire at the end of the month (I hope!) but I think I only have 2 or 3 weeks to use them. I'm up to 60 cents off so I don't want to lose it, I'm going today!!

My dad's Ram extended cab gets about 13 mpg. No diesel.

Hope it works out great for you! Just curious, how many miles do you drive annually in "steel town"? Percentage of highway vs. city street driving?

I do about 12,000 miles/year, about 80% of which is city driving.

Sounds perfect for you! Lots of savings from city driving. I read that Prius's can get up to 60 mpg's in some instances.

I am just waiting for the Charles Fox Singers to do Queen's "I'm In Love With My Car"

Congrats - sounds like you made a wise purchase!

I was waiting for the light at Beacon & Murray in Squirrel Hill today when a Smart Car drove by -- first one I've seen in person. Itty-Bitty!

My Dodge Stratus gets pretty good MPGs -- way better than the van I traded in last year.

I'm so happy that you love your new car, Mr. Killer. (I love new things.)

Would you drive me somewhere?

I first saw them inRome a few years ago. But was very familiar with them due to how many parts are powder coated, another plus.

We have a dealer nearby so we are seeing quite a few of them around here. Especially company with logos on them.

Oh, and I am very happy for you KT. Sounds like things are going well for you. That job going permanent soon, or are you just as happy contracting?
