For the times when I can't ride my motorcycle, i recently bought a 99' Saturn SL1 5spd with a 1.9L SOHC 4cyl engine. Got it for $700, needed very minor things like a shift bushing and what not. The best tank I had so far was 48mpg, shortly after i bought the car in october. The worst tank I had so far was 38mpg, and that's in freezing temps with winter gas. I'd imagine in the summer I'll be able to break 50mpg, if i need to drive a car to get where I'm going. The car has a .32 drag coefficient and weighs 2400lbs. With some aeromods i'd probably see some significant gains.
