I can live with getting as once a week. It's not that I enjoy stopping for gas, I just think its a worthy compromise in return for the driving enjoyment I receive from my car. If I'm going to be commuting daily, I'm going to have as much fun doing it as I can. My current daily driver is a good balance with a hopped up turbocharged four that gets 30mpg on the freeway (particularly on long trips) and then dips into the teens when I want a handful of acceleration for passing or just having a good time on a long sweeper.

Will your Civic pull a boat, camper, or trailer loaded with jet skies or 4 wheelers?
