  Self: "My old car was costing more and more money in maintainance. So today me and my wife bought a new car. A 2009 Skoda Fabia Combi TDI Greenline (76000km). \n\nIt has a much better milage than the previous car about 4.1l/100km ( 1l /24km or 57mpg) and it is larger (station) which was what we were looking for. And I am confident I can drop that below 4.0l/100km on long trips :D\n\nAnd best of all we saved for it so no dipping into the emergency fund."
