Yeah, they took a lot of flak for that, and it still took them years to get a
4 speed in there.

Are your windows tight? I've read that they can develop problems with the
window tracks coming loose from people pushing on the windows to close the
doors. I used to yell at people who did that when I had my Neon. I never
experienced any problems, but I only had the car about a year and a half. No
idea how correct that report was, but it's worth taking two seconds to see if
there's any play in the window.

That's pretty typical for winter. The use of oil to heat homes drives up the
demand. It should drop back down below the price of unleaded during the
summer, assuming the same pattern holds like it has in the past.
