What makes you think they'll go down in the fall?

Fuel economic cars w/ AC go up in the spring, 4WD's go up in the fall. That's the way it works.

Prices of gas will get back down to $3 or so in the fall.

I think at this stage of the game the X gets 15 highway due to a recent complete tune-up.  I remember driving my old VW Golf 30+ miles a day to and from school and work while only filling up once a week.  I thought I would be able to find a mid 90's Geo Prism, or an Accord, nothing pretty but somewhat mechanically sound.  I can't even get a rusted out 89 Sentra for 15 hundo.  Now I'm thinking about a Schwinn with a bannana seat, but I haven't been to the bike store in a couple of years those might be out of my range as well.

I remember when I first bought my Ion I was surprised that I had to fill it up just as often as I had to fill up my GTO (around 310-320 miles per fill up), then I realized the Ion had a 12.5 gallon tank and the GTO had a 19.5 gallon tank  :)   (if anyone does the math to figure out mpg, remember that theres generally 1.5 gallons left in the tank when I fill them up.)
