I'd have bought an Element if they could get over 25 mpg, and weren't

   Ended up with a TDI Jetta wagon instead.

50 mpg and I can haul my DJ gear around.

03 Jetta GLS TDI Wagon 5spd  Juliet
82 Westy 4spd Lucy
73 Mercedes 220D 4spd Brigitte
89 GMC S-15 5spd Violet
86 Grand Wagoneer (just bought it today, haven't even seen it yet...)
