One factor of fuel consumption economics that is worthy of consideration is the purchase cost. It might be easier to get good mpgs from a new Prius, but the amount of money spent for a newer car can buy a lot of fuel. Sometimes (always?) it's more friendly to the enviroment and the wallet to drive an older car more economically than to buy a fuel hating vehicle that fairly recently sent emmisions into the atmosphere during its manufacturing process.
