The car is 22 years old and blows away the 3rd generation Prius for highway fuel consumption. If you had had a car like the Sprint, with a real world FE of well over 50 mpg, available to you, then you wouldn't have this problem today.

Think in the long term. If people had been doing that over the last 20 years instead of flocking to buy SUVs and eschewing efficient cars, then you'd be better off today. Just as future students will be if we manage to get our heads out of our a**es anytime soon. (Which at this point is something that I'll only believe when I see it. 30+ years of watching and waiting makes one skeptical regarding such things.)

I'm not questioning your logic, it makes complete sense.

I'm just saying if RIGHT now, ga was 5/gallon I could even afford to go to school. Rather than having a future where my children are going to college in their 60mpg cars, it would probably consus of me begging for change out f a cardboard box.
