Used cars with little thirst for gas

2003 Mercedes C230 Coupe (automatic)....32 highway mpg

I own a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid and live in the Fenway and work in Wellesley. Driving around the city and commuting back and forth to work I am averaging 40 mpg.

When I bought the car I had a 90 minute commute in NY, traveling just over 100 miles per day, my car is approaching 140,000 miles and is still running like a champ. Given the price of gas, I plan on keeping it until it falls apart!

I have a 93 Toyota Camry with 186k on it.
If I only go 55-60mph on highway, I can average 34.
higher speeds (i'm not tellin!) 31-32
Car cost 3k.

I have been driving my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid since December, 2005. It has almost 33000 miles on it. I have averaged for both city and highway driving, 43mpg. Last weekend my wife and I drove from our home in Raleigh NC to Baltimore MD for the Orioles/Sox series. We got almost 50 mpg for the trip. Just a little better than 36 mpg, huh?

We have a 2001 Toyota Echo. It's a great little car, but gets nowhere near 38 MPG. Best it can do, if 55-60 on the highway, is 35. On a regular basis it gets 31-32. These MPG ratings look look like the old ones.

I have a 1998 Honda Civic LX with about 87K . It averages about 30MPG w/premium gas.

Even though I don't commute much, I have to say I love my car. It doesn't give me any problems except regular wear n' tear. I went to the annual car show at the Boston World Trade Center and when I sat in the brand new models and more expensive vehicles, I thought, "I love my car. I don't need a new one."

I spend max $1500 per year on my car. I have friends spending that in one month paying off SUVs, let alone insuring them and filling them up with gas. I'm not gloating because all of the money I've saved is in stocks right now - So it all evens out....

I drive a 2007 Honda Fit about 20 miles each way to work.
It's mostly a 30-45 mph drive in 5th with a very few stop.
I get 44 mpg reliably. It's cheap, hauls lots of stuff and
fun to drive too.

NO ONE believes this...I drive a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII which gets 27 mpg at 60 m.p.h. on the highway and a s-o-l-i-d 20mpg around the city. It's a freak of a car that Ford spent billions developing but sold very few of them.

I have 2002 Honda Accord (4 cylinder), 119 k miles. If I keep speeds under 72 mph, I get 34 mpg. At 80 mph, the mileage drops to 29 mpg, still not bad. My all time record is 39 mpg in Colorado, buying gas with no ethanol (you lose about 10% with that crap from Iowa), and keeping speeds to below 72 mph.

I own a 2008 Ford Focus and a 2005 Honda Civic. The Focus averages 41 mpg at 80/20 hwy/city out, it outperforms the Civic in both acceleration and handling, is more fun to drive, and also cost me a good amount less dough. The 08 Focus mpg has improved over the 07 and earlier models. It's amusing to look at the faces of the SUV drivers when I am at the gas station.

Honda is an fuel-efficient car
