[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 800757, member: 56140"] I would go one step further than that. I would not look at gas sippers. A mid size car like a Fusion or Taurus will get you very high 20's or low 30's without sacrificing space and comfort. Dad has a 2003 Taurus with the 3.0L Vulcan engine that will get him 32 MPG on the highway. It has a large usable trunk, comfortable ride, plenty of elbow room, etc. He could have gotten a Focus that got 36 MPG that was smal, cramped, no trunk space, and at a higher price. When you calculate a years of driving between the two cars of 15,000 miles, you end up saving about $225/year at $4.50/gallon driving full highway driving. Where is the savings? In my book, there is none. Tom [/QUOTE]
