New: $800 2001 Saturn SL1 - getting 40mpg

Hi,

I just sold my gas-guzzling SUV (18 mpg) and got an $800 2001 Saturn SL1 with 248k miles. (I wanted to buy a Toyota Echo, but couldn't find a decent one for $3000.) To my amazement, the little Saturn hooptie got 39.96 mpg on the first tank, with open windows and underinflated tires.

Definitely a keeper. So now I brought it to the shop to get everything in shape. And then I will get that thing to 45 mpg, even if I have to push it.

Andy
