I had no idea the MPG was so good on these, either. It's got three MPG higher than my Probe, and I got 40MPG out of that with a boat tail at 60MPH and no P&G. And 45MPG with P&G and no tail...

You should be able to top 45 on the freeway with some extensive aeromods. Throw a 3G Camaro rear window on it, haha!
Let me introduce you to the Chevrolet Corsica hatchback!

Not that the mpg isn't impressive (it is), but these things aren't all that big. Aren't they about Cruze size if not smaller?

I definitely like them, they're very nice looking late 80's-early 90's sedans. It's unfortunate that there don't seem to be many around anymore. Good luck OP
