Of course one could use AGFA's HDC + which gives you 3 free exposures on a
24 exposure roll., that means you get 27 exposures for the price of
24. One of our local supermarkets sells AGFA HDC+ 100 for $1.99 USD.

The reason why the cars seem still is because they are moving towards the
camera. If the were moving to the left or right there'd be a lot more
blur. Personally I would leave the cars alone, they aren't the subject.
And if you blur the background more they may not be recognizable as cars,
