 I did, that is the electrical version right? I did not like that weird
extra lever and it only got a couple of miles per gallon more. Also since I
was paying cash money straight up for it I was limited on how high I could
go. I got a steal on the echo at $10,625.95. I talked $2600 of the price of
my car. I am proud of that fact.
