Just for kicks and giggles and because I was interested by comments in the post asking when to give up on a 240, I looked into the the CARS program - not that I plan on getting rid of mine. No way. But some casual vacation time dinner conversation also brought up the program...

General information is available here:

http://www.cars.gov

And you can see if your car qualifies here:

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/CarsCat3OrOther.shtml

Looks as though vehicles must average a combined city/hwy MPG rating of 18 mpg or less.

My 1989 2.3 auto wagon - according to the site - averages 19 and is NOT eligible.

I tried about 9 other combinations of years and engine and none were "bad" enough to make the cut. Nothing older than a 1984 can qualify at all.

Final thoughts? Keep 'em all on the road!
