Let's stop pretending that you know what highway 17 is like in 2008. It's one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in the entire state. And my family lives on the other side of it.
My Eclipse is basically designed for two things: improving its efficiency considerably (I've managed to do so to the tune of 50%), and being able to drive on even dangerous roads like 17.
If you'd like to discuss this further, there is a thread for it. I won't continue to threadjack just to satisfy your fixation on this point.

So then in saving the planet and all... a bus ride with a pick up from your family doesn't sound so unreasonable. I mean, that reduces your total fuel usage of your Eclipse by 1 round trip and you use public transportation... or do you also worry that the bus doesn't handle so a SUV changing lanes so well, or hydroplaning near a cliff... (so dramatic) All those conditions you state including fauna, are issues that don't differentiate an Eclipse from a Neon from a Corolla or a bus. It is so disingenuous of you to continue to tout it as so.
Your Eclipse isn't special nor a specially designed choice, I guess when faced with being wrong, you'll pull the "We'll have to agree to disagree" card...
