I don't lose much sleep over a few quarts of fossil oil as long as I'm already putting gallons and gallons of fossil gasoline in my car.

So you are saying that you only bought the Yaris for its looks/handling and not the FE that it provides you over other subcompacts out there?

Oh, not at all.
I'm a genuine cheapskate and take pride in buying the lowest priced new car on the lot. But not directly for the reason of trying to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. That's just a side effect of frugality.
