Around the Charlotte NC area gas is running from $2.50 to $2.75 gal. I traded my ST back for a Wrangler-but still remain a loyal ST fan, And possibly a 2007 ST owner. I hear a lot of complaining here about the st's low mpg-The best I can get in my Wrangler is 17 on the highway or in city traffic. Going to the beach last month, with the air on and running over 70mph I got 14. If gas continues to climb I have thought about a few better mpg vehicles out there like the Escape, the Mustang 6 cyl, The Mazda 3, or maybe a Mazda Tribute-oh yeah I like them Mercury small suvs mariner I think-but I've noticed they are marketed to women-like that'd matter, in my area I see more gals driving jacked up Wranglers than guys-lol:wub:
