Also, you guys have it great on gas prices. Just last night it was $3.57 here for mere 92. I know that's bad compared to like... Australia, but still.. not cheap.

I think it's about time to change my plugs though, the car seems to idle a hair on the rough side.

In regards to the "tornado" air thinger... I have yet to see ANY conclusive evidence (other than infomercials) that can actually prove it is worth buying.
I've actually heard the Tornado hurts fuel economy. I saw the infomercail, too; it was hilarious. I suppose it's a good device if you're going to be pouring soda from a full 2 litre bottle to an empty 2 litre bottle . . .
