blogONEMy dad is looking into the 08/09 Camry or 08 CR-V, and asked me to give him some dirty information. So without diving into car pornography or anything, I dived into what was probably the most important/relevant info for a frugal person like myself: fuel economy/efficiency (FE) and the base price for the lowest, shi-luggiest model. Unless otherwise noted, the FE is from FuelEconomy.gov, which I trust has the official/accurate EPA values (tested and true, as opposed to mere estimate). Of course, FE also depends on how a person drives. With that said, I’ll probably really just spend money on a BMX bike (FINALLY?) and ride it to school…instead of driving and paying $500 for parking while in FARMLAND.
