I'd definitely keep the Celica. I had an '89 Celica convertible that I just sold recently, and I also have a '99 convertible that I only use during the summer. You won't be happy with anything else, IMHO. You won't find a more reliable car, nor one that will get any better mileage, considering its size. you are already getting very good mileage. Sometimes we need to realize it doesn't get much better than that. BTW, My '89 used to exhibit weird handling if I overinflated the tires more than 35 psi, so be cautious.
You mentioned a Saturn. About a year ago I was considering buying a nice, clean 2004 Saturn wagon from a dealer, as they supposedly get good mileage. It wasn't bad to drive, but in researching it I found they are loaded with electronic controls and accessories and are notorious for developing weird problems. I nixed that idea, as I wasn't about to give up a reliable car for a potentially unreliable one. Also, since Saturn was scuttled by GM it's not going to help matters any.
