The Explorer is happy now, she does not have to work as hard anymore. Ever since I moved back to the bay most of my driving has been around town, we all know what that does to the gas mileage, and I can only imagine what it is doing to my tranny. I came across a deal the other day on a 1991 Geo Prizm, it is pretty much the same as a Corolla. It has 165K on it and runs perfect, the only thing wrong is it has a dent in the hood. Dude that was selling it wanted $1500 for it but I busted out some of my old car selling skills (learned them from getting talked down myself) and talked him down to $900. I have had it for a week now and have been getting about 30mpg aroung town, much better then the X's 15mpg around town.
