Since we&#8217;ve put something like 6,000 miles on the car so far, we&#8217;re particularly happy about the 50 mpg, even if this last tank is down to something like 45. There&#8217;s other stuff that I could have an opinion on, if I had to, but mostly it&#8217;s just a car with good mileage. Of course, YHB doesn&#8217;t like cars (as may have been mentioned here previously), so that influences the whole thing. I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered writing a list of things Likes or Dislikes about the 1998 Saturn SL, you know.\n<p><I>chazak, chazak, v&#8217;nitchazek<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Humble Blogger\u2019s house has been a Prius house for three months now, more or less, so perhaps it\u2019s a good time to say a few things about it.
