$35 if I drive my Jeep..
But what with gas prices I decided to get an old 1979 Audi (aka VW) station wagon
This little 1.6L four banger gets 36 mph! Which cuts my fuel cost in half!
Real clean, recaro seats and the guy I bought it from did a lot of suspension work on it too.. Handles better than my old 240Z! Plenty of leg room for my 6'4" body and room for 3 more plus luggage.
And get this.. Not one ECM (aka computer) anywhere in the car! OLD SCHOOL!
Which makes me lol when I see someone at work bragging about their new computer control hybrid that is about the size of a smart car claiming 35 to 37 mph! They get a real funny look on their face when I tell them my 35+ year old Audio gets the same mph with ZERO computers
