Secret
I have a secret. Don’t tell anyone. You see, my car is twelve years old. Yes, twelve. Even though it is twelve years old, I get 29 mpg in the city and 31-32 mpg on the highway. Gasp. So, whats my secret? I drive normal and I maintain my car. I don’t speed and sudden stop. I do drive above the speed limit, but not to excess. I keep my tires inflated and Josh and I keep track of what is going on with the car.
And now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Hi
My car is eleven and it’s not a VW – it’s a Renault. It’s old and I’m proud of it although I’m not sure about mpg – I suspect a newer one would be more economical to run!

Ooh, I looked at a Renault before getting my car. They are nice. My car is a Honda. My husband’s car is a VW. I find it amusing when I see car commercials stating that the new model gets the same fuel efficiency as my 12 year old car.
