Well, before you go braggin too much, I get reimbursed for 90% of my gas so it makes life a lot easier on the budget! But it is still quite a bit of time on the road. I've been making the drive since Aug '05. Only 8 more years to go.... lol

That's the best laugh I've had all day.

While I realize it's not funny that it's so low, it just struck me as quite humorous the way you put it.

"Location: SFV, CA"

That explains the mileage right there!

And WELCOME GRINGO!

Here's proof that the HHR can get the advertised 450 miles to the tank. I think I was getting about 26 MPG when I refuled at took a look at the estimated distance.
