They dropped the price a whole $100 from when I posted it.  I wonder how long until it hits $1000.

According to that display, 4! :))

With $225 shipping, why not just make a road trip out of it...I'd probably spend that much in gas, though more on my time (thank you 27mpg sedan!)

Haha could be worse, my old Merc from '86 was so thirsty she did 23.5 mpg if I drove really really economically xD .
