I'm debating whether to take the Tercel again this year, or take our new Yaris.
If I take the Tercel, I could get some pretty good mileage out of it, I'm thinking at least 60MPG. But, it would be in the modified category, and it has a much higher breakdown chance. It broke down last year on the way home, and it hasn't seen too many long distance trips lately. But, I have an MPGuino in it, so I can keep track of my mileage on the way.
If I take the Yaris, I would be in category 2 (its EPA combined is 31), and I think I would at least be able to get 45-50MPG out of it. It's an automatic though, so I can only do all the downhill stuff in neutral, not in EOC. But, the breakdown chance is very low, and it looks nicer anyway. I don't have a scangauge yet though, so there's no MPG instrumentation.
I'm leaning towards the Yaris right now, but we'll see.
I think we may go for the $35 option, and bring our own lunch, unless I hear good news from a company I interviewed with before then.
