Gas $ is getting bad

I filled up the other day for the first time in a while from an empty to full tank.
$84. Good lord!!!
I am wondering why I am one of the only ones on the freeway doing 65mph or less? People are still flying by me. I have also been taking the motorcycle a lot more. the bike gets about 45mpg. But I still run my errands in the truck because I have to pick up the kids, and haul gear. I would like to get an older Toyota truck, or an older Honda Civic crx, or maybe even one of those Mini Coopers. Have you seen those things? They are fast, good gas mileage, and there is just something attractive about them.
Here is a picture of a black one that I have had my eye on. I really need to take one for a test ride.

you are a dirty bastard Eric Ratza. North Carolina is the shit but I have not seen a classy chassy like that out here. Everything seems to be a little more classic with a few less parts.
