A little storm named Barry dropped by Charleston today and knocked out power briefly just as I was finishing up this week’s questions. Because of an earlier commitment, I wasn’t able to redo them and post until later. But at least the power outage only lasted a few seconds.
But before the questions, Ingrid of "A Very Simple Life" was first to play last week. Congratulations, Ingrid!
Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. When did you last compute the average number of miles to the gallon your car gets?
2. Do you use regular, midrange or premium octane fuel?
3. If you had to give up one or the other because of a government-mandated fuel-saving law, would you prefer to go without your car’s air conditioning or automatic transmission?
4. Take the quiz: What muscle car are you?
5. Of the cars you have driven and/or owned, which had the worst gas mileage? Did that have any impact on your decision to get rid of it or make plans to get rid of it?
6. On a scale of 1 to 10, with ten representing the most, how much will “environmental friendliness” have on your decision to buy your next vehicle?
If you have a Reader's Choice question you'd like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I'd love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.
MY ANSWERS:
1. Some time last year when I drove from Richmond to Columbia.
2. Regular
3. I’d rather go without air conditioning, believe it or not, than automatic transmission.
4. 1969 Buick Skylark
You are a 1969 Buick Skylark. You car has alot of potential....but you don't really care. The only reason you are driving your car is because it works! You only care about going from place to place.....racing isn't in you....but who cares...
5. A 1973 Olds Cutlass S; Its age had more to do with moving on than its gas mileage.
6. 9. Price will still have the main impact: it can be the most environmentally-friendly set of wheels ever built, but if I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it.
