[Healeys] Car stuff - not Healey

I'm in the Czech and Slovak Republics right now and we rented a diesel
Ford Focus station wagon (they call it a Combi) and did 500 kilometers
in it (incuding stop and go traffic in Prague), fully loaded (5 people
plus luggage), the thing had tons of power, was very fast, and -

got 38 miles per gallon.

That included doing about 200 km on the freeway at 75 miles an hour.
That's almost as good as a Prius.

I tell you the fact that gas is $7 a gallon here is almost irrelevant
when you get mileage like this.
