used toyota echo's and corollas can get near 5o mpg, and are avalible used for from $1000-(for a fix er upper) to $3000 for a 100k model but still solid ,,and up .i have a 1996 corolla with 337,000 miles on original motor and trans (just drove it hot and blew a head gasket 2 weeks ago. r.i.p. , but my echo (see profile) has achived 50 mpg or close to it on most of my tanks, i drive 100 miles a day to work and back ,,and do engine on coasting, and stay under 65 mph, point being you dont have to buy a honda or a geo if you dont like them, my echo has 160000 miles on it and only changed brake pads and oil, (it does drive like a go-cart though) a 5.0 mustang depending on confifuration should be capable of 30+ mpg ,,,,,,,,,,,,oh by the way welcome!
