I have two cars that are both dying; I fear one will keel over this winter for good. So I'm weighing options.

I ran 36/37 mpg all last winter and I wasn't hypermiling. Granted my tires were at around 34/36 psi but most of the time I was doing 65 mph in a 55 (shame on me). I'm sure that depending on your route and how much snow you get where you are you could easily get 37 or better.
I myself am really hoping to keep my 90 day averages above 44 mpg all winter.
