Depends on a number of factors, but you could say almost defintely. The chief factor is how many miles are put on the IS-F and what the operating expenses are. Over time, a IS-F is not a cheap car to run or service....but then again, a new CT is aso a fair chunk of cash.

On the topic of fuel economy, IS-F & IS350 are near the very top for fuel economy for given levels of performance. Or in other words those seeking reliable high performance sedans with high fuel efficiency the top IS's need to be considered.

Suburbans can, in some cases, with their 25-30 gallon fuel tanks, cost over $100 to fill up. And the older ones (before the current-generation model) had excessively spongy, fade-prone, Push-and-Pray brakes that only improved slightly starting around 2006-2007 or so. Give yourself as much room, in traffic, as possible, to stop.

Bush, in a speech lifted the ban on off shore drilling, which in affect caused the speculators to stop manipulating the price per barrel, and gas started to come down in price immediately.

I get the same mileage cruising on the highway in our F as we did in our RX330.

An American website called gaywheels.com announced the VW Golf, also known as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the States, as their top-researched car for this year, being most popular among their users. Second is the VW Eos. At number six is the Mexican-built VW Jetta. Not to be outdone, the Audi A3 is at number five. Now you know where you stand if you own a VW.
The awesome Veedubs knocked the Toyota Yaris out of the top spot, down to third, with the Mazda Miata coming in at fourth. The Saab 9-3, Dodge Caliber, Volvo C30 and Mazda 3 round out the top ten. We’re surprised the VW Beetle is nowhere to be found.
