Most folks aren't "set up" to understand the costs. Buying a new cheap "econo" car every three-five years is their plan . . and they're never out of debt, either. For them, a decent 20-mpg sedan that was paid off would be better.
For someone with a little more savvy (and mechanical interests), then, yes, I easily agree with the above about an older model. Anything EPA averaging under 30-mpg isn't a good idea, overall.
But selling the suburban house and moving into the city makes most sense of all. And to a major metro with decent public transportation. The "future" is down to about [5] North American cities.
