As most of my faithful readers (all 2 of you!) already know, Shawn and I took a trip to meet up with my family over father's day weekend. Since Shawn and I are nerds, we generally keep track of the gas mileage the car gets. We don't have any charts (like Shawn does for our combined Net Worth), but we generally know that in town, the car gets between 32 and 34 mpg and on trips it's usually better.
On trips, we also keep all of the receipts...I'm not really sure why; Shawn claims it's so he knows how much money we spend, but that's not it since we can track that via our credit card statements, so it's gotta be something else. He also used to set our "B" odometer to log the total number of miles for the trip, but I wouldn't let him do that this trip since I use it to track the number of miles between oil changes. ANYHOO, we spent $282.28 on the trip (on things that we wouldn't have had to pay for if we had gone by plane). Of that, $163.57 was spent on gas. If we had travelled by plane, we would have spent an additional $150 (over the $280). The car got some amazing gas mileages with the worst being 30.39 mpg (we had only used half a tank and filled up because gas was cheap). The best, by contrast was 40 mpg. On average, we got 35.68 mpg.
So, do I love my car (2008 Honda Fit)? Yes. Absolutely.
