Can't say I have had many cars that were anything but gas guzzlers over the years. The more efficient of the lot would be my early rides like the 1983 Chevrolet Chevette I learned to drive in. That was a little 4cyl 1.6 or 1.8L not sure? 5 speed manual was good on gas and had 200,000 miles on it before it was 10 my dad used it for commuting to work back then.

The other better MPG car I had little after that was a 1983 Dodge charger Shelby edition non turbo 2.2L I learned to swap motors and replace head gaskets with that poorly designed POS Fun little car but man I would crack a head or pop a gasket nearly every 6 months the cylinder wlls were so thin it would overheat too easily poor design.

I had a bunch of pickups with 6cyl seems no one wanted a 6 so i would get them super cheap I loved them and didn't mind cause they got better mpg and I wasn't towing anything mileage low 20's with most of the straight 6 motors was typical with average young driver behind the wheel think I could probably pull a mid 20's if I really tried now.
