Shoot, I'm happy to be getting 15 MPG with my X, but who cares about gas mileage if you're driving a truck anyways! If it's a big deal ride a bike, take the bus, or get a Chevy Metro!

The X is not a Formula 1 racer, it should not be able to beat a Mustang in a race, the X is not an economy car, it should not get 40 MPG...it's a truck and the mileage it gets is about the average for the type of vehicle it is.

Sounds like she knew what she wanted to tool around in, "put her foot down", and got what she wanted anyways!
