Looking at possible replacement cars, although that won't happen (cross your fingers) until 2011.

I now have a 60-mile daily commute, which means I fill up my tank twice a week (32 gallons x $3.25/gallon = $104/week).

The list in preferential order:

* May be out of the running if my 6'2" boyfriend can't fit into the car.

The Subaru Forrester seems like an odd choice, but I've always had an inexplicable affinity for station wagons.

Got a note from a site visitor about how to change the automatic seat (and exterior mirror and headrest) position using the buttons along the side of the seat.

To program the seat...

1. You need to have the key in and turned to the first detent (position 1). The dash will light up.

2. Set your seat, mirrors, headrest, etc. as you like it.

3. Press the Memory button (the one farthest towards the rear of the car)

4. Press one of the three memory keys to save your settings.

NOTES:
There's a "dummy" process where if you have the key out or the key is in position 2, you need to hold the 1,2, or 3 button down while everything adjusts. With the door open or the key in position 1, you press the 1,2, or 3 button once.

The one weird thing is that if you set it during the morning, at night it may seem like it was set by someone shorter. Maybe this is just me, but I tend to sit bolt upright in the morning and gradually slump farther and farther as the day wears on. The same weird thing seems to happen when I put the top down (I always have to adjust the interior mirror).
