I hear you. Most important thing is to figure out the enjoyable way to make your car more efficient, mile-for-mile, on fuel. You can P&G one of these cars, with the engine ON. I did pretty well with my wife's Subaru Forester once, which is an auto AWD too. I squeezed maybe 5 mpg more over the long haul on the highway. I can't fully recall. I posted about it here somewhere. My technique was probably quite sub-optimal, though.
