endurance
Thinking about your elevation challenged situation I would be the absolute best car for you would be a Toyota Echo with a manual transmission. The basic stripper with AC would take less fuel to climb and coast down those grades just fine. They only weigh just over 2000 pounds.
Not expensive at all, no timing belt and utterly reliable.
I know you have pretty much decided to keep your car but if you wanted to get probably about 10 more MPG the Echo would be a great choice, but find a really nice low mileage example.
I averaged 57 in mine once using EOC.
regards
Mech
