Well, it's actually my dad's. But I drive it when I need something temorarily at school. It's a honda civic; real cute, drives smoothly, quietly (mostly when it is in rest briefly, I notice this lapse in background noise). I can drive from Richmond to Charlottesville and back twice on one tank of gas. That's about four hours with one tank, give or take 40 minutes. Plus, on the gas gage, there's also a battery gage, and when you aren't accelerating and are traveling at a good enough speed, it'll start to charge the battery (this is shown by green lines); this makes driving on the interstate a bit like a video game, where the goal is to see how charged I can make the battery.
It also has a nice economy air conditioning feature, where it'll turn the air off when you stop the car at at other times, to help conserve energy. I'm an amateur at gauging how "superior" one car may be from another, but this one drives well, and it saves me costs on gas.
