Which Cars Get Best Gas Mileage?

I can remember back some years ago when these small cars were getting 35 to 45 miles per gallon. Now that the quality of gas has gone down due to EPA restrictions your lucky to get 30 or 35.
Does not figure getting less mileage in a toy car that cost 25 to 35,000.00.

I'm old enough to remember that too. Seems we're getting worse as time goes on. I'm glad i drive a Mini-Cooper!

And the big three??? They are too busy trying to figure out how they are gonna get rid of their fleet of soccer mom mobiles. Who is running the show with these companies anyway?

I think Prius is ugly... but very very very good! I think the price is because toyota is great, and u are getting a great deal, not buying a bunch of gas! and the reputation on not having to repair it every god damn day! like ford(fix or repair daily)

And the word from our president? "Americans might oughta conserve." HAHA Oh, hey.. that is a good idea. I was just asking myself this morning, "I wonder where all my money is going". How much time does he have left in office?

Whole world went in to direction of fuel inefficiency. And it is not due to worse engines. It is due to cars getting bigger and heavier with every new model for last 20 years.
Something similiar what was happening to cars 40 years ago before big oil crisis in 1970's. Now we are hitting the ultimate oil crisis - Oil Peak. Oil production is peaking and it will only go down, down and down, while demmand for oil is going up, up and up. And result is sky rocketing oil prices.
Whole world has become addicted to drug called oil. We even wanted to dismantle alternative energy sources like nuclear power plants and make oil dependant power plants. That was the most stupid of all acts.

My favorite cars that I have owned are Toyotas and Hondas. Very low maintenance, very dependable, saves money in the long run, so economical. You can drive them for MANY years without any major issues. I am afraid to buy a domestic car (except for my Chevy truck as a second vehicle) as my primary car because I don't want to risk having to pay high prices for repairs over and over again.

If you are one of those Ford workers who is out of work, Toyota is a fantastic company to work for.

Where do you work at The Texas Toyota plant, i thoght that plant is idled. Not to mention that all the workers are Temps and most got the ax a couple of months ago. No real man is buying that thing they call a truck. I would rather starve in the streets than work for them back stabing, dolphin killing dinks..

I want to hate the look of the Prius, but I can't. It reminds me of the Inspector Gadget mobile from the old 80's cartoon.

The price *is* a bit too high though. If I'm shelling out $25K for a car, it better have some muscle under the hood.

As for your acronym for Ford. That's actually a thing of the past. I've known a few people who've had Fords and never had trouble with them. Their overall quality has jumped up sharply in recent years.

because the best way to make your point is to let the world know you are a racist redneck.

The whole point is that unless you actually haul loads on a regular basis the only point of driving a truck is penis compensation.

Tell us how you really feel. Better yet, don't. We don't care. You're obviously only trying to incite an argument.

I had a '91 Carolla that was still running like a champ in '99 when I sold it. I got it from my mom when I graduated high school and took over the payments. I abused the hell out of that car. I think in the 3 years that *I* owned it, I only changed the oil once.....in 3 years. I drove it across the country (literally) and just abused the heck out of it in general and it still ran like a champ, had cold A/C and a nice stereo.

I only sold it because I was leaving the continental US.

A review on CNET.com said the Fiesta gets 76 MPG and runs on diesel.
