Yup... This still slays me. EVERY time I fill up... Someone makes a comment. These days it's usually, "I bet you're sorry you bought that now aren't you?" I usually just laugh and say... "Not at 18MPG!... I LOVE IT... It's one of the most fun vehicles you'll ever drive!"
I've heard a lot of Jeep owners say they are thinking about getting one... I've only received a few dirty looks. My future Brother-in-law is a tree hugger type. I figured I'd catch a case of the ass from him... He was actually pretty cool about it... Especially when I told him it was rated for 20 MPG (ahhh... He's starting to piss me off anyway!)
The stares are definitely there!
