Gets almost 40 miles per gallon.

At $1.50 a gallon here, and a 10 gallon tank, I can go 400 miles on $15 worth of gas.

Saturn's are probably the most economic car in America, and pretty to boot! Paid 3k for mine and I love it. (replaced the car below)

/edit - can anyone see this image? The link is right, maybe routing problems or something...

ok let try the convertions functions

1 mile = 1.609 kilometer
so 400 miles = 643.6 km
My car suck 8 liter/100Km (optimals consomation at an average 130kmh/81mph)
so (643.6*8)/100 = 51.488 liter for 643.6 km.
Gasoline cost is 6.39FRF/liter cost for 400 miles is : 329 FRF
Oups I've to convert in USD 7.198 FRF per $
329/7.198 = 45.7 $

Interesting we have the quite the same cost !
But I will be first

if I recall good your speed limit is 70mph no ?

btw my car is a Megane Renaut :

not the best car but at least I can pay it

There is no national speed limit in the USA. You will find it varies from state to state with 55-65 in city very common and up to 85 in the countryside. Montana for a time had no speed limit at all... is that still the case?

Not sure about the Montana stuff Sancho, I'm pretty sure they instilled one by now.

If I remember right what happened was the US govt. let go of control or something to the states to decide a speed limit or let them govern their own roads...

Montana (bunch of sheep herders) simply forgot to hold a town meeting for the 10 people in the state and never decided a speed limit by x date, and thus a speed limit was never implemented. Think they had to wait until after the hunting season to have another campfire talk about the whole deal.

I don't think anybody actually lives in Montana. Have you ever met anybody from Montana?? If somebody says he's from Montana, he's FBI as far as I'm concerned.

"I would have liked to have seen Montana"

Name the movie.

Should be an easy one.

Good call - I thought the XO (Alan Grant in Jurrasic Park, can't remember the guys name)was great in that one.

um... I'm (was) from Wyoming... that is even more chimerical, I would think.

But we have a speed limit... 75 in school zones.
