How I just saved $1300 a year (in theory)

So, do I have your attention? Good.

It was really rather simple. I just got rid of my old, gas-guzzling car. It was a good car, a Pathfinder that got me a lot of places. But at 155,000 miles, with the brakes going out, and the current price of gas, it was a good time to change. As are many other people these days.

I didn't get a hybrid (though I wouldn't mind one). I didn't even get a new car. I bought a 2007 Toyota Camry, with 21,000 miles on it. The way I figure I'll be doing around 10 miles per gallon better. With my current driving and guessing I'll be filling up at $3.80 a gallon for a while, I could save around $1300 a year in gas.

Here's a picture of my beautiful, new, plain white car.


Of course, the last time I owned and drove a sedan I had very bad luck. Like the lady turning out in front of when when I was going 70 down the road - totaling the car. Or the time I had the squeeze play with my car getting squished between an SUV in front of me and the 18-wheeler that rear-ended me. (Yep, totaled again.) So wish me luck with the smaller car. Please!

So, what car do you drive?
