I guess I'm old before my time. I'm obsessive about my mileage. I have been since I started driving. I'm trying to develop better driving habits, and having trouble. Especially with $4 a gallon just over the horizon.
 
I'm turning 20 in a little over a month. I'm "old" I guess.

I took no offense to anything you said. I agree that I'm sort of neurotic about small things once in a while. I hate space savers too as they are more of a waste of time. I'd rather have a full size spare so that I can put it on and forget it, just get the other fixed. Anyway, no offense taken.

I am just thankful I do not have to drive often - only put about 5-6000 miles a year on the car. I cannot imagine driving an SUV or 4x4 and commuting long distances with gas at these prices. And the '08 Accord also has the largest gas tank in its history too - 18.5 gallons. So let's say you get it down to 1.5 left - that's 17 gallons 3.40 gallon in NY = $57.80 to fill up. If I were having to fill up every week I think I'd be driving a Civic 4 cyl 5 speed. I once had a Pontiac with a 26.5 gallon tank and in even in 1981 cost me about $30 to fill up. That is when I got our first Accord 4 cyl 5 speed = 35 MPG all around and 42 on the highway - tripling my fuel economy!
