This is a good thread! I currently have a 1.5l auto Tercel, which is great, but before that, I had a 3.0l v6 Taurus, which weighed at least 1k lbs more and got much poorer mpg. Ironically, I chose that Taurus over a Neon that would almost certainly have given me much better mileage due to the smaller engine and body size. Live and learn! Nearly two years later, when the Taurus started to go, I made a better choice and got a subcompact instead of a mid-size. Now I'm getting 40 mpg over the same routes where I used to get 23 mpg.
