Well, I cannot say it is all that weird, but I have to be honest, I had not heard of a "fuel sipping" vehicle.  Had you?  Sandra Smith mentioned she heard the term, and it's the way the engine is configured within the vehicle.  At gasoline sitting still at 4 bucks a gallon, a least here in New York, I find it interesting we are just talking about such a topic.
