I think you must have had your sense of taste surgically removed at some point :-) Maybe you could show us what you think looks good?

What is a car getting 100mgp worth over the 5 years of ownership? Just based on gasoline savings (~$9000) over 5 years.
I know I've said this before, but for me the price of gas is pretty much irrelevant, at least in the sense that I'd buy a car to save money on gas. I buy fuel-efficient cars because that's what I like, same as some people pay for big engines, or lifted SUVs with brush guards & winches when the closest they get to off-road is the outer wilds of the parking lot at the local mall.
